I tried it on port 80 and the only way the behavior changed was instead of getting the error message immediately, it spent quite a while trying to get both url's before giving up and spitting back the same error message. It again didn't actually try to contact the webserver. I don't think I have any packages selected that require the second CD, but even so, it would have to actually contact the webserver to know that I don't have it mounted also, so that factor is not coming into play just yet... - John -----Original Message----- From: Taylor, ForrestX [mailto:forrestx.taylor@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 1:58 PM To: 'kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Subject: RE: next problem (http retrieval) > oops, looks like I spoke too soon -- I am not seeing any hits in the > webserver log as a result of attempting this kickstart.... so > it's not even > connecting to the webserver.... > > I changed the URL line in my ks.cfg to this: > > url --url http://10.9.5.72:8080/kickstart > > Under the kickstart directory on that webserver is mounted > disk 1 of the > RedHat 7.2 distribution (i.e. > http://10.9.5.72:8080/kickstart/RedHat/ is a > valid directory). > > The third VT now adds the following lines to the log of what loader is > trying to do, right after it sets the hostname) > > * url address 10.9.5.72:8080 > * url prefix /kickstart > * copying file to fd 11 > * wrote 7 339549 bytes > * transferring > http://10.9.5.72:8080//kickstart/RedHat/base/netstg1.img to a fd Here it is trying to get the netstg1.img from the location that you gave it.

Can you try it on the standard port 80? Also, you need to have both discs mounted, and apparently the loader will check for disc1/ and disc2/ in the directory that you give.
