Hi You could create a post-install section that adds the initrd line to your grub.conf. But if you are booting your newly installed system from the hard disk, you might not need the initrd... Sincerely, Martijn Tigchelaar. -----Original Message----- From: Carey Jung [mailto:carey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, February 23, 2002 19:49 To: kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Custom kernel installs Hi, I've been trying unsuccessfully to install a custom kernel during an http-based kickstart install. I'm using a RH7.2 base, along with some additional packages I've created myself. I've gone through the usual buildinstall, pkgorder, genhdlist sequence, (as described by Tony Nugent's how-to) and I can get everything to install fine, including my additional custom RPMs, except for the kernel RPM. It installs okay, but won't boot, because grub.conf is missing the "initrd" line. The "kernel" and "root" lines are correct. Note that the kernel RPM I've built is correct, because if I boot from the standard kernel and run rpm -U, the new kernel installs and works just fine. It's a 2.4.17 kernel, if that is significant. The package file is kernel-2.4.17-ITF3.i386.rpm, if that is significant. How do I tell anaconda to properly create the grub.conf entry with the initrd line, as it should be?
