I have a machine setup that does RAID level 1 mirroring. I create a kickstart config file and modify grub.conf such that it points to my vmlinuz, initrd and kickstart files. My kickstart, vmlinuz and initrd files are in the /boot directory. Filesystem layout: # df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/md0 30233808 761376 27936624 3% / none 1990496 0 1990496 0% /dev/shm #cat /etc/fstab /dev/md0 / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/cciss/c0d0p3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0 vmlinuz and initrd files are detected fine and my machine boots up fine until it fails to find the kickstart file. After that the loader prompts me to input values. Please find the extract from my grub.conf below: /etc/grub.conf entry: -------------------------- root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-AS4.0-x86_84 ks='hd:md0:/boot/ks.cfg' ro root=/dev/md0 initrd /boot/initrd-AS4.0-x86_64.img Please find the display on tty1 below: * getting kickstart file * getting kickstart file from harddrive * Loading ks from device md0 on path /ks.cfg * getFileFrom BlockDevice(md0, /ks.cfg) * failed to mount /dev/md0: Invalid argument * trying to mount CD device hda I understand that the "partition" information that I am specifying in my path to ks is wrong. However, I tried various other options but cannot seem to get it right at all. Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated. thanks Prasanna |
