I may have completely missed the mark with your question, because I don't have any issues with the following in my kickstart script: %post mkdir /mnt/cdrom mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom rsync -rv /mnt/cdrom/LL_Extras /root HOSTNAMETMP=SERVERNAME cp /mnt/cdrom/ks..tar.gz /root/LL_Extras/. umount /mnt/cdrom Basically I use this to copy various saved files, SUN JAVA installs and so on from my custome DVD I make. By custom, all I do is add ks files, server saved files and an LL_EXTRAS folders which has a bunch of installation programs that I need. Right now, that totals about 500MB in size. I don't modify any stage2.img file or make any changes to the standard RHEL DVD files. I use this in RHEL4.x through 5.2 without issues.

I found a post about creating a new stage2.img with a couple of lines in dispatch.py swapped which is supposed to fix this. I did that, and wound up with a DVD that is ejecting right after the SCSI drivers load! I really need to be able to copy files from the DVD during %post What is the correct incantation to make this happen?
