I believe that Forrest is correct, that you need to make sure the .discinfo file is copied over from the original ISO into your new one. I don't think the cp command you sent earlier would pick it up. It has been mentioned on the list, I think, that this error is caused by not having that file.

I fixed the problem of 'where to run the program'. Here's what I'm using: mkisofs -o /root/new.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T -V "RHEL/3 i386" -A "RHEL/3 i386" /root/isofilesys/ I am able to create the iso image but something else is wrong. The CD boots and the installation kernel is loaded. Then I get an error message: "The Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat Enterprise Linux CD and press OK to retry." I've checked the CD, it appears to be identical to the original CD other than the addition of the ks.cfg file. There are a few 'messages' that pop up when I run the mkisofs command. There are a few that look like this: Scanning /root/isofilesys/RedHat/RPMS Excluded: /root/isofilesys/RedHat/RPMS/TRANS.TBL And there are a slew of messages that look like this: Using REDHA000.RPM;1 for /root/isofilesys/RedHat/RPMS/redhat-config-netboot-0.1.1-19.i386.rpm (redhat-config-bind-2.0.0-14.noarch.rpm) I checked the new CD and to see if those files seem ok. The TRANS.TBL files are all missing. I'm not sure what the significance of those are. The files that had the 'Using...' message all appear to be there and correct. To rule out the kickstart configuration I just run the CD without invoking kickstart and other than a couple of 'select language' and 'select media' dialog boxes that pop up first, it still hangs at the same point. Needless to say, I'm stumped! Oh, I doubt that it is relevant but I don't have a CD burner on the Linux box so I just copy the ISO over to my windblows laptop and burn the CD from there. I'm assuming that this is not a problem because the original ISO images downloaded from RedHat were also burned in the same manner and they work. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

The same thing applies to -c, you need '-c isolinux/boot.cat'. -- Jason Kohles A witty saying proves nothing. email@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Voltaire (1694 - 1778) http://www.jasonkohles.com/ _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
