Hi


I am putting the kickstart file in the tmp directory inside the ramdisk.
This is for IBM iseries(ppc) and the ramdisk image is attached to the
kernel.  The problem occurs even when  I am not trying the kickstart
install, but a normal install with my CD.   So the error occurs without the
kickstart file coming into the picture at all.


Try using buildinstall, et al. to rebuild the installation disc. If you cannot use the CD even without kickstart, then it is most likely that the new kernel is giving you trouble. This is what I do:

#!/bin/bash
# This will build a Red Hat CD. This assumes that you have the contents of both
# CDs in /home/rh72/rh72/i386, and that you have installed anaconda
# and anaconda-runtime, and have copied /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/* to
# /home/rh72.
echo Running genhdlist...
  ./genhdlist --withnumbers /home/rh72/rh72/i386 ## Must have full path
echo Running pkgorder...
  PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda ./pkgorder rh72/i386/ i386 > pkgfile
  ./buildinstall --pkgorder pkgfile --version 7.2 rh72/i386/
  ./splitdistro --fileorder pkgfile rh72/ i386
echo Running genhdlist again...
./genhdlist --withnumbers --fileorder pkgfile /home/rh72/rh72/i386-disc1 /home/rh72/rh72/i386-disc2

If you have any questions about this, let me know.
