Hello All, I need some assistance with finishing a PXE NFS
install. I have reviewed the archives and the information there has
helped me to get this far. I have a DHCP server and a separate file server running the
TFTP and NFS services. I have figured out the DHCP settings to pass on
the hostname, the IP, and the NextServer to push the installation over to the
TFTP server. At the TFTP server, the pxeboot hex file points to the nfs
share and anaconda finds the vmlinuz and initrd.img files and starts the interactive
installation. Here is the part I am stuck on - whenever I try to add
kickstart information into the hex file (ksdevice=eth0 ks=nfs:/{fileserver IP}/path
to the ks file), the vmlinuz and initrd.img file are found and the initial
install begins. As the install is checking for hardware it kernel panics
with a VFS error when attempting to locate the hard drive. It seems that
the megaraid driver we need is not getting installed, and it gacks at that
point. To be clear – the nfs portion is operational and will
lead to an interactive install, but when the kickstart information for an
unattended installation, the install kernel panics with a VFS error. What did I break? J Thank you very much for any assistance – it is greatly
appreciated. Mike Cotton |
