I have a vendor procedure that I must use to install a software package on
an HP xw8000, dual Xeon 3.2GHz, DVD+R, nvidia FX1100, 73Gb 15k rpm SCSI.
Boot order was changed to cdrom first, per instructions. I first installed
RH9 without the ks.cfg file by mistake. Then I was told the RH9 automatic
install wouldn't use the 2nd processor (among other things) without running
the kickstart program. I then inserted the cdrom with the kickstart file
and rebooted. At the boot prompt, the instructions were to type "expert
linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg" (without the "", of course). Everything goes ok,
answer "no" to driver disks, country "us", then asked for media hold the
packages and removed the boot cd with kickstart file and inserted Red Hat
Installation CD #1, select the Local CDROM as the package source. Then I
get an error stating this isn't a Red Hat installation CD, which of course
it is and it has been media tested. This is the same disk #1 that I already
did an install without kickstart, so I know it's ok. FWIW, I tried the
instruction without the "expert" and got the same result.
