I did what Kennedy suggested. Thanks much. Connected the KVM and did the Alt-F commands. What I found is this: " ... ... getting kickstart file looking for first netDev with link eth0 has link, using it doing kickstart...setting it up waiting for link... 4 seconds no DNS servers, can't look up hostname ks location: http://171.67.39.130/ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg transferring http://171.67.39.130//./ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg

another system on the same subnet as my kickstart install server and the
client. After which I modified my default file to the following: label 1 kernel ENT_LINUX_64/vmlinuz append nofb initrd=ENT_LINUX_64/initrd.img ramdisk_size=10000 lang=

ks=http://171.67.39.130/ENT_LINUX_64/Enterprise/ks.cfg I put the dns= entry in there. The I get the following: " ...

--hostname=as-kickball.stanford.edu The hostname is invalid. It’s a bogus name. I’ll try to
make it a valid name and check it out. Should there be a hostname in the default file as well since I am using
static IP? I think I am getting close here. Something else is missing for the
reverse lookup to work. Suggestions would be helpful at this point. Thanks -Mukarram. -----Original Message----- I tried Alt+f1, Alt+f2 etc. no effect. I am doing all this from the cyclades console. I might have to go in front of the box and try it out, which I should
be doing in a few hours. Thanks for the suggestion. -Mukarram. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx

Sorry if the suggestion has already been made. Did you try to go to the other consoles ? There is a lot of information
there which can help to debu your problem. _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list |
