Howdy: I am trying to perform a kickstart install of RHEL4U4 exclusively via the drac (Dell Remote Access Card) interface onto a PE 2950 without utilizing the systems other embedded nics. I am building an iso (not burning) and using the PE2950 drac to mount it as a virtual cdrom. Anaconda loads the ks.cfg from the initrd.img via virtual cdrom on a PE 2950 using this syntax in isolinux.cfg: +--------------------------------------------------+ default kickstart prompt 1 timeout 10 display snake.msg F1 boot.msg label kickstart kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=file:/ks.cfg +--------------------------------------------------+ I used Greg Morgan's and Jason Dixon's help here (near bottom): http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/AnacondaNetworkIssues Then I run into some errors. Anaconda either doesn't load a driver to access the virtual cdrom (I disabled the physical cdrom to attempt to trick anaconda into thinking that the virtual cdrom was the first cdrom it finds - in vain) or is not coded to be able to see /dev/scd0 as a valid cdrom device. I am not presented with a virtual tty with a shell where I can verify that dmesg identifies the virtual cdrom and assigns a device name. I see that netstg2.img contains usb-storage scsi "USB Mass Storage driver for Linux" Should I use the driverdisk option? Am I insane for trying this? Is the module for the virtual cdrom included in the default anaconda initrd.img? Does anybody know which driver that is, so I can include it? Is it possible to pack the RPMs I want into the initrd.img ramdisk and make them available to anaconda as a mounted filesystem (similar to specifying a local /dev/sda or /dev/hda disc)? Is there a size limit on the initrd.img? Would this required I hack the loader code, so as to make an option - "install ramfs" (instead of "install cdrom ")? Thank you in advance. Regards, -dkw
