Hi Tom,
now it can start but soon anaconda breaks reporting the
following Exception:
"An error occurrder unmounting the CD. Please make sure
you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then clik OK to
retry"
Shell on tty2 is on /
from /tmp/anaconda.log file I see this:
...
...
* moving (1) to step readcomps
* exception in unmountCD: (16,'Device or resouce
busy')
I did the following steps:
- modified isolinux.cfg file to add the kernel parameter I
need
- modified some .msg files to customize this new CD
- modified the kickstart files to add the kernel parameter
to boot loader (as I did yesterday)
- recreate the ISO
Any ideas? I really don't known how to investigate on
it...
thanks

syslinux files on the boot CD and rebuild the CD. Change the append= lines and
add the option you need. Thanks, Tom

On Behalf Of Mariani,
Luca Hi
all, I'm upgrading a bootable CD
which uses kickstart to automatically install REHL4 Upgrade3 and a subset
of programs. The upgrade is needed by
a new hardware that requests a special kernel parameter to boot the
system (in particular the kernel parameter is 'pci=nommconf' and it should be
needed to use the Smart Array Controller) I've been able to add this parameter
in kickstart config file and now the boot is working fine (I'm using GRUB as
bootloader), but I must type the kernel parameter by hand at installation
prompt... Is there a way to configure
kickstart (or something else) in order to autamatically pass this kernel
parameter to installation process too? Thanks
