Liz,

 

Sounds like the problem I’m having…..

 

I can ks AS 2.1 with no problems, but AS 3.0 with all the same hw, gives me the ‘can’t mount’ msg.

 

RedHat Premium Support and I have been going back and forth since 07-20-04 on this with no luck.

Subject: kickstart nfs query

 

Dear  users.

 

I am having a problem using nfs and kickstart.

My ks.cfg file has the entry:

install nfs --server=192.170.45.2 --dir=/software/install_tree

 

However,  at the start of the installation,   it says that this directory cannot be mounted.

I click on OK,   then I am presented with the IP address and the directory from the ks.cfg file.   I confirm these values clicking OK  and the installation goes on to succeed,  with all the packages copied from the nfs server.

So,  the nfs is obviously working.

 

Any ideas why it says it cannot mount the directory in the first instance??

 

Many thanks,

 

Liz Beresford.
