I find that the behaviour of the CDROM from an "http" (or other network)-based install is depedant on the version of RHEL that is installed. The CD is used to boot only, "prompt: linux ks=http://blahblah";. RHEL 2.1 will allow me to eject the CD as soon as it has loaded the images from the URL (i.e. during install, at any point, PRE% or POST% script.) RHEL 3 and 4 do NOT allow the CD to be removed during install until after the machine has been rebooted or halted (i.e. you can't eject the CD during the POST% script either.) -Christian _________________ Christian Rohrmeier Schering AG Corporate IT - Infrastructure and Services Computer Systems and Operations System Administration - Research and Development Tel +49 30 468 15794 Fax +49 30 468 95794 "Gregory Gerard" <ggerard@xxxxxxxxxxx> Sent by: To: <kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx> kickstart-list-bounces cc: @redhat.com Subject: Ejecting CD after installation 12.06.2005 02:05 Please respond to Discussion list about Kickstart What’s the right way to eject a CD after installation? I have my kickstart set to reboot afterwards but it boots into the CD-ROM. My CD-ROM drive tray in the server (Dell 1U) is the portable type where the machine couldn’t suck the tray and CD-ROM back in even if the BIOS so desired. While I’m using the CD-ROM, it’s just for booting the machine, the install type is http based, not local media.
