For the particular build I was try to do, yes I could have used an FTP, NFS, web server - I opted to just redo a DVD with KS file which worked. However, I was hoping to see if anyone else had the problem (and fix :-) ). RHEL5 is new for our environment but as I start to migrate the RHEL4 servers to RHEL5 this will become an issue in terms of my existing offsite DR process which relies on the ability to use a USB/kickstart process as the network will not be available at the time I am building the servers. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Tim Mooney Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 2:27 PM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: Re: RHEL5.2, kickstart, USB, "OPCODE" error after reboot In regard to: RHEL5.2, kickstart, USB, "OPCODE" error after reboot,...: > Build a HP 385 server, using a RHEL5.2 DVD cut from a downloaded ISO, > and the kickstart file located on a USB stick.

Would loading the kickstart file via http work for you? Just put it on some web server and use linux ks=http://your.host/your/url/ks.cfg Tim -- Tim Mooney Tim.Mooney@xxxxxxxx Enterprise Computing & Infrastructure 701-231-1076 (Voice) Room 242-J6, IACC Building 701-231-8541 (Fax) North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND 58105-5164 _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list ----------------------------------------- This email (including any attachments) is confidential.
