Hello Kickstart List!
I would be most grateful for any help to the issue I'm having.
Here's the ultimate goal: to run kickstart installs over nfs using TCP
and not UDP on a RHEL3U5 system.
There is a RHEL 4-specific way of doing this only implemented in Update 4 and beyond. Here's the entry from the Changelog:
* loader2/nfsinstall.c Add support for passing nfs mount options
by specifying nfsmountopts= on the boot command line. NOTE: this
syntax will only exist in RHEL4. For future major releases of
RHEL, this will be handled on a more fine-grained basis. (Brian
Long, #168384)
I believe you would need to rebuild anaconda for 3 U5 with the patch I submitted to Red Hat for nfsmountopts. nfsmount.c function nfsmount() has checking for a "tcp" mount option, but there is no way to pass this option to loader and have it be passed to the nfsmount() function.
