Objet : kickstart installation hardware support
I am having some problems installing Fedora core 5 on my system. When I use the FC5 boot disk with the kickstart directive
linux ks=http://somedomain/ks.cfg
The installation ignores the ks configuration completely and continues on to the graphical installation. I do not know if it > is relevent but I do not
have dhcp on my network where the machine so I need to setup the ip address statically.
Hi.
As you don't have any DHCP server, you can try to configure ip on lilo/grub. Have a look to the ip kernel parameter:
ip=<client ip>:<server ip>:<gateway ip>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<device>:<autoconf>
I don't think the kernel's going to interpret this (when last I read up
on this, it required the NIC driver to be built into the kernel, and for
kernel support to be explicitly configured in).
However, it is possible for the linuxrc script (and its successors) to
interpret it.
Certainly, IP= works in Ubuntu, but I've not explored why, I just
assumed it's done in the scripts & didn't need to know one way or the other.
In your case, I should try something like this:
linux ks=http://<http server ip>/ks.cfg ip=<client ip>::<gateway ip>:<netmask>:::
_That_ would _never_ work on _my_ server. My server like names, not
numbers - they are delicate souls:-)
