OK, major steps forward, found there was an offending line in my kickstart script trying to get the console going on boot, removed it and all is well, the install starts, and things look GREAT! However I have a new issue this morning, I fire up the test box, it goes out, gets an IP, gets the kickstart script, begins the install albeit in an X window (strange as I told kickstart to skipX - though I believe that's for setting up the client X), all goes well until it hits an RPM it seems not to like and throws up the standard error: There was an error installing 'X'.rpm This can indicate a media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problem. This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media and try your install again. Well, when I reboot the system to try again, it fails on yet another RPM. I rsync'd the RPMS down from loop-mounted ISOs so I am unsure why it is complaining of bad media. Has anyone else had this problem, and how do we work around this issue? I see nothing in any logs on the server providing the install media. Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated Michael Weiner
