Hi, I am trying to use kickstart to nfs install redhat 7.3 on an AMD machine. I have set up the system to dhcp boot. I get the correct ip address assigned to the client from the server and I think it mounts the correct directory on the server where the redhat distribution is (determined by alt-F3 and alt-F4). Then when it continues on it fails with the error LOOP_SET_FD. Specifically, the order of events are: ... sending dhcp request through device eth0 nodns is 0 ks server: 192.168.1.1:/util/redhat file: ks.cfg ... kickstarting through device eth0 nodns is 0 mouting nfs path 192.168.1.1:/util/redhat/RedHat loopfd is 14 LOOP_SET_FD failed: Bad file descriptor and on the "blue screen" the "Choose a Language" screen comes up. I have scanned the archives and the web and I can't seem to get a handle on the error. The kickstart configuration file was generated using the graphical program and is here: #Generated by Kickstart Configurator lang en_US langsupport en_US keyboard us mouse none timezone --utc America/Los_Angeles rootpw --iscrypted $1$Xr$ZQf ..... removed .... reboot text bootloader --useLilo --linear --location=partition install nfs --server 192.168.1.1 --dir /util/redhat/RedHat clearpart --all --initlabel part swap --size 1024 --onprimary 1 --ondisk /dev/hda part / --fstype ext3 --size 2048 --onprimary 2 --ondisk /dev/hda part /ldata --fstype ext3 --size 1024 --onprimary 3 --ondisk /dev/hda network --bootproto dhcp auth --useshadow --enablemd5 firewall --disabled #Do not configure the X Window System skipx %packages @Classic X Window System @X Window System @KDE @Network Support @NFS File Server @NFS File Server @Router / Firewall @Network Managed Workstation @Emacs @Utilities @Software Development @Kernel Development %pre # Start Pre-Installation Script Here echo "Start Pre-Installation Script Now %post # Start Post-Installation Script echo "Start Post-Installation Script"
