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
well i suppose you just havre read linda and answer to my mail...
http://store.redhat.com/mailing-lists/kickstart-list/msg01544.html
what i have done is use a dhcp server to boot, and get the ks.cfg, but
the final ip address is specified on command line at the boot prompt.
The ksip parameter is used in the %post section, and not at boot
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..."
this means that the ks.cfg has not been downloaded in /tmp/ks.cfg
