Dear List- I have a fully functional Kickstart infrastructure in place
for FC6. To date, I have performed no fewer than 25 kickstart installs (using
FC6). Due to serious application compatibility issues, I am forced to take
these machines back to an earlier version of Fedora ( version 5). Currently, the
client systems successfully boot (using PXEboot). Some point after copying down
the kickstart file, at the point where it attempts to mount the stage2.img file,
it fails. I have tried using ISOs in addition to the contents of the ISOs
within the installation tree, but neither work. Just to be sure that there is
nothing wrong with my setup, I tried to install using the older FC6 ISOs and with
those the client installs succeed. I have verified that the installation tree
is available over NFS, so I am sure the problem is not with NFS. Below are the error messages I receive: VT1 “The directory does not seem to contain a Fedora Core
Installation Tree.” VT3 (Truncated and paraphrased, may contain errors) (…snip…) INFO: going
