Hello,
I have a scenario in which its not able to do a kickstart on IBM
servers, the process halts at the keymap. Tried various alternatives in
the kickstart config; gb, uk, us; and also changed the keyboard and
language settings. The problem occurs on both x86 or x86_64 bit RHEL5.
The IBM Servers are mainly x345s and x346s. Tried Compaq KVMs, HP KVMs,
standard Dell PS2 keyboards and other non-brand keyboards... with a
mixture of US and UK keymaps. It's not possible to use the keyboard at
all during the kickstart process... it's just garbled characters and
renders it useless.
The ks.cfg is as follows :
-----------------------
install
nfs --server=X.X.X.X --dir=/kickstart/install-tree/rhel-5
text
lang en_US
#langsupport --default=en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8
keyboard us
keymap us
graphical
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip X.X.X.X --netmask
255.255.254.0 --nameserver X.X.X.X --hostname XY.com
firewall --disabled
selinux --disabled
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
firstboot --disabled
timezone Europe/London
bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet"
clearpart --all
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part / --fstype "ext3" --size=6144 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part swap --size=2048 --ondisk=sda --asprimary
part /var --fstype "ext3" --size=8192 --grow --ondisk=sda
part /var/spool/exim/input --fstype "ext3" --size=65536 --grow --ondisk=sdb
------------------------
Any ideas why this is happening.
Regards,
Vimal Kumar
