There are instructions on how to embed the ks.cfg in the Linuxworld presentation I did a few years ago: http://www.shabazian.com/lw2007.pdf -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Peter Scheie Sent: Wednesday, October 28, 2009 7:40 AM To: Discussion list about Kickstart Subject: putting ks.cfg into initrd.img I'm trying to put my kickstart file into the initrd.img file with the intent of putting 'ks=file:/ks.cfg' in my isolinux.cfg file, for custom centos 5 installation. I did this to get the kickstart into initrd.img: gunzip < isolinux/initrd.img > initrd.raw ls ks.cfg | cpio -oAO initrd.raw -H newc gzip -c initrd.raw > initrd.img Then I copied the new initrd.img file to my flash drive, replacing the one in the isolinux/ directory. At the boot prompt, I set ks=file:/ks.cfg, but while it starts to boot, I get a dialog box saying the /ks.cfg file could not be found. Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
