I got this problem solved - I hadn't realized the .discinfo file didn't get copied off media during my rsync ..anyway, I restored it & it makes it through the install.
Now, however, it will not execute the %post section - in which I call another script that I try to copy off from a directory on virtual CDROM (ISO) that I'm building from... my question is: during %post, how is the cdrom mounted, another words, do I have to mount the cdrom in the script something like mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /media ? Or do I use a %post --chroot in some fashion?

Kickstart Gurus,
I have a fully contained ISO image of the original RHEL5.1 32-bit source tree, along with some additional RPMs & a custom ks.cfg file. The goal is to totally automate the build to a VMware VM via mapping the ISO file to a virtual CDROM.
I have modified the default isolinux/isolinux.cfg file as follows:
default xander
prompt 1
timeout 600
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 options.msg
F3 general.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
label xander
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg
label text
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img text
label ks
kernel vmlinuz
append ks initrd=initrd.img
label local
localboot 1
label memtest86
kernel memtest
append -
In my kickstart file, I of cource specify "cdrom". The ISO image will boot the VM into RedHat's initial screen, but when hit return or let it time out it, it complains that it cannot find the install media on any cdrom.
I also tried to put the kickstart file into the initrd.img by uncompressing image, copying ks.cfg into it, modifying isolinux.cfg to:
append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 ks=file:/ks.cfg
Then recompressed it, moved it into proper place & re-generated ISO image. Again, the ISO will boot the VM to initial RH screen, but soon there after get the "cd not found" error.
Is this just a VMware thing? My coworker has no trouble with SuSE builds working....am I overlooking something simple?
Thanks in advance.
Gene
