Hi List, I have a problem with my kickstart environment. The kickstart file and the packages are located on a web server and to start the installation, I've created an ISO from isolinux (Source is CentOS 5.4) Everything works very well so far, since I have DHCP available in almost every network. But now the environment is being extended to an additional DMZ where I won't get DHCP running. But everything is build to support static IP address as well and at the beginning it was working fine. The system booted from the ISO (mentioned above) then asked my which Interface I want to use for installation (took eth0) and started looking for a DHCP server to obtain an IP address. Since there was no DHCP Server present, anaconda came up with a mask where I could define static IP configuration and afterwards configure the selected NIC (IP, Netmask, Gateway and DNS Server). When I pressed OK it contacted successfully my kickstart web server and downloaded the kickstart file (activity was logged in the web server log). But as soon as the kickstart file arrived on the server it starts again determine an IP address form a DHCP server which fails (obviously). Because of this all IP information I've entered before are lost and the further installation steps are failing (loading stage2.img, etc.) Since this is happening in such an early state I am not able to obtain any log files from anaconda. I know that I can define static information directly during boot (with ip=<ip address>, etc.) But I'd like to avoid this and use the way described above (I hardly remeber that I was successfully using this in the past) So my question is: Does somebody know this behavior? And If yes is there a way to get around this or to make it working? If you need my kickstart file, feel free to ask for it. I won't past it into this mail to keep it simple. Thanks and all the best, Si _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
