I've been using kickstart via http/pxe on our rhel4 servers for a while now and have recently created a rhel5 image on the same kickstart server. I've replaced the vmlinuz and initrd files and can't get it to work. It stops when it is looking for the .discinfo file in the disc1 directory of my rhel5 image repository (which isn't there). My rhel5 image is identical to the dvd image as provided by RedHat. Any ideas?
For what it's worth, I also see a [much-too-long] delay during ftp installs, while anaconda tries and retries to find .discinfo. It's long enough to make you think things are hung, and start looking for a problem on alternate consoles, at which point you can see what is going on. But eventually it moves on to the next thing. Did you give it plenty of time?
