Excuse the spam, this is just bizarre.
Here's the snippet of the anaconda.log showing that on
first pass, anaconda cannot find sda1:/gremlin1b.cfg, but once I hit enter
again, without changing the path, it finds it successfully.

the kickstart file and you can see the kickstart successfully locate and pick up
the configuration file off the USB stick.
I'll add the sleep to the %pre and see if there is anything
else I can watch but I'm positive that anaconda is picking up the configuration
file from sda1.

is seeing the USB as sd(a,b,c)1? Add a sleep to your %pre, get a shell,

On Behalf Of Hajducko,
Steven Hi, So
we're running into a strange issue where a kickstart from a USB/CDROM combo on
an HP DL385 G5 system is actually installing and reformatting the USB
stick. We
place the kickstart file on the USB drive, drop in a RHEL5 DVD and
run: linux
ks=hd:sda1:/hostname.cfg The
installation goes fine and our packages are installed, but upon reboot and
examining the USB stick, it has been reformatted to ext3 FS and contains
: stha3155@ghost:/media/usb$
ls Upon reboot of the system, it
crashes with a bunch of OPCODE errors. The
relevant part of our kickstart looks like this ( we don't do anything tricky in
our packages or post install, just touch a few config files..
) install %packages
Tried putting the 'ignoredisk'
option in order to ignore the sda1 disk that the USB shows up as, but no
luck. As a side note, the disks on the HP show up as
/dev/cciss/c0d0. Any
input would be appreciated. Thanks.
