ks.cfg in nsf server and static ip

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

I would like to make RH 7.2 installation and retrieve ks.cfg (and everything else) file from nfs server 
and use static ip adresses (no dhcp).

All works fine if I have ks.cfg in bootnet.img floppy.
But if I try to use ks.cfg file in nfs server, things does not work out.

In floppy's syslinux.cfg can be found lines:  
default ks
prompt 1
timeout 50
 ---clip---
label ks
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks=nfs:10.66.88.73:/export/kickstart/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ksip=10.66.88.75 initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=7168
label linux .....
 --- clip---

I have also tried type on boot line "linux ks=nfs:10.66.88.73:/export/kickstart/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ksip=10.66.88.75", but result is the same:

Loading starts and right after Message prompt: "Dynamic IP / sending request for IP information", 
it stops on another prompt: "Kickstart error: Error opening: kicstart file: /tmp/ks.cfg no such file or..."

10.66.88.73 is nfs server.
10.66.88.75 is client (forthcoming RH 7.2) this ip may change, so it would be good if this could be typed to boot line.

So, is it possible to use ks.cfg which is on nfs server without using dhcp?
If it is, how it is done?


Regards,
