Hi: I am also interested in some of the stop you took to accomplish this...especially preloading the drivers. Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Klaus Steden Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 11:00 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: Booting from a usb key fob > > I remember a brief discussion on this not too long ago. > I have formatted and loaded a 256 MB with the first release cdrom but I > cannot get it to be booted from. > > Can someone point me to the right location for instructions on this? > > I am loading RHEL3 update6 > I've successfully run kickstart from USB keys with EL4. Haven't tried EL3, but it was fairly straightforward ... I made an disk image file the same way one would make a cramfs image file, making sure to put 'ldlinux.sys' (install the syslinux RPM on your build machine) on it. From there, it was easy enough to just dump it to /dev/sda (my USB key) using 'dd'. If EL3 makes sure to preload its drivers properly, I think the process should be fairly straightforward. I can privately pass along some of the build steps I use to make it go, if you're interested.
