Hi and thanks for you help so far.
I answered my question, when you add the -nochroot to the %post command, bash is selected as the default shell.
I did have two dashes, but my Microsoft outlook changed them to one. Wasn't that nice of Microsoft :)
So, I would like to just mount my own drive in %post and just work from there, but for some reason, it does not work.
when my %post gets to the mount command, I get these errors on one of the VTs:
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out
lockd_up: makesock failed, error=-5
nfs warning: mount version older than kernel
Strange, the mount point is on the same machine (but different location) I'm mounting for my source media, that mount worked perfectly fine.
Second, I can mount the new exported directory from all my other boxes without error. This looks like there is something wrong with the ks script!
after the script finally dies, I can go in and manually mount the drive, but it takes a __long__ time (like about two minutes).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-- Ryan
here is the script that is hanging:
###
%post
echo "Starting post install scripts!" >> /var/log/f5serverInstall
mkdir /f5
echo "mounting source directory" >> /var/log/f5serverInstall
mount 10.10.10.22:/f5server /f5

Correct.

If you pass "--nochroot" then the chroot is not done and you can
access things outside of /mnt/sysimage.
RA> In other words, what is correct:

I have no idea. Picking nits, neither is correct because you need two
dashes in front of each option. But I think you'll have to try it.
Honestly, I would recommend letting it do the chroot and doing the NFS
mount inside of the %post section as the manual suggests. This makes
it much easier as you have access to the installed environment and
don't have to munge all of the pathnames.
