Put your ks.cfg file in your initrd.img, and on the syslinux.cfg or on the lilo prompt put "ks=file:/ks.cfg". That way your ks.cfg file is loaded in the ram disk for boot time. I will check the command line when I get back to the office tomorrow, but I am pretty sure that is correct. It is how I do my bootable CD with a built-in kickstart configuration.

I use standard ks.cfg and syslinux.cfg format following the article "RedHat Linux KickStart HOWTO" written by Martin Hamilton. I used the boot disk to kickstart Dell workstations and Toshiba Tecra 8000 and 8100 laptops without any problem. I just received a batch of Compaq iPAQ desktops with USB keyboard, mouse and floppy, and when I tried to use the same boot disk to kickstart Linux, I started to run into this "Error opening: kickstart file /tmp/ks.cfg: No such file or directory" message. Here is what I have in syslinux.cfg: default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img my ks.cfg file is on / of floppy disk with syslinux.cfg, vmlinuz, initrd.img, and ldlinux.sys all on the same directory. _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
