I am looking for a solution to remotely installing a redhat-7,1 or possibly 7.2 if I can get some testing cycles on 20+ identical redhat 7.1-xfs machines. These machines are bigtime inaccessable and have no floppy or cds. I can boot the kernel from my kickstart disk via lilo but it jumps directly into a text mode install at the select lang. dialog. As near as I can tell what is happening is the syslinux.cfg file is not seen and thus the append statments passed to the kernel via the syslinux.cfg are not sent. I have the ks.cfg in /ks/ks.cfg in initrd.img. Googleing for syslinux stuff it appears that syslinux only works from a fat partition. Is this the case? If so can I simply put the append stuff in lilo.conf and rerun lilo? And finally, how do I specify the ks.cfg loacation? Is append ks=file://ks/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount close? any tips appreciated. TIA, Bret
