I've been kickstart installing RHEL4 and 5 from a 32GB USB key for a couple of years now. The method I use to create the USB installation environment is roughly:
1) Re-partition USB key: one small, 100MB, vfat partition containing the boot loader, kernel, ramdisk image, and kickstart config file; remainder of storage is a ext2 partition containing the package repository and installation customizations.
2) Use syslinux and lilo for bootloader.
I tried this method to build a similar RHEL6 USB key installer, but with no success. Basically, after the kernel loads, I get nothing, just a hung system (something going wrong at the ramdisk loading?).
Anyway, as anyone else successfully created a USB-based RHEL6 kickstart installer?
THX,
