I'm having issues creating a kickstart for RHEL 6.2 so I just walked through the installer, used the kickstart file generated into /root and tried to incorporate that into the isolinux.cfg file. The error I'm getting is "unable to read package metadata. This may be due to a missing repodata directory" Can not retrieve repository meadata (repomd.xml) for repository: Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Please verify its path and try again. Can someone please help? Thanks! -Jim The anaconda-ks.cfg was renamed to jim.ks and placed into the isolinux dir on a 6.2 DVD. Here is my isolinux.cfg: menu color title 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color tabmsg 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color unsel 0 #ffffffff #00000000 menu color hotsel 0 #ff000000 #ffffffff menu color hotkey 7 #ffffffff #ff000000 menu color scrollbar 0 #ffffffff #00000000 label linux menu label ^Install or upgrade an existing system menu default kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img label vesa menu label Install system with ^basic video driver kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img xdriver=vesa nomodeset label rescue menu label ^Rescue installed system kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img rescue label local menu label Boot from ^local drive localboot 0xffff label memtest86 menu label ^Memory test kernel memtest append - label jim menu label jim kernel vmlinuz append append ks=cdrom://isolinux/jim.ks initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192 Here is the jim.ks: # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. #version=DEVEL install cdrom lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us network --onboot no --device eth0 --noipv4 --noipv6 rootpw --iscrypted $6$g9mqaBzA12oOR8LU$28Dj4b08Mv4VL5ToT0VVf7cIoTwwDywgsOieFyO1R9JdXkWoqYumMgHSRo4Q7ZZgtJc0JkrXmZmqzD4pDwRAC1 firewall --service=ssh authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512 selinux --enforcing timezone --utc America/Chicago bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append=" rhgb crashkernel=auto quiet" # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work #clearpart --all --drives=sda #part /boot --fstype=ext4 --size=500 #part pv.008002 --grow --size=1 #volgroup vg_hpm --pesize=4096 pv.008002 #logvol /home --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_home --vgname=vg_hpm --grow --size=100 #logvol / --fstype=ext4 --name=lv_root --vgname=vg_hpm --grow --size=1024 --maxsize=51200 #logvol swap --name=lv_swap --vgname=vg_hpm --grow --size=2016 --maxsize=4032 repo --name="Red Hat Enterprise Linux" --baseurl=cdrom:sr0 --cost=100 %packages @additional-devel @base @client-mgmt-tools @core @debugging @basic-desktop @desktop-debugging @desktop-platform @desktop-platform-devel @development @directory-client @eclipse @emacs @fonts @general-desktop @graphical-admin-tools @graphics @input-methods @internet-browser @java-platform @legacy-x @network-file-system-client @performance @perl-runtime @print-client @remote-desktop-clients @server-platform @server-platform-devel @server-policy @tex @technical-writing @virtualization @virtualization-client @virtualization-platform @x11 libXinerama-devel openmotif-devel libXmu-devel xorg-x11-proto-devel startup-notification-devel libgnomeui-devel libbonobo-devel junit libXau-devel libgcrypt-devel popt-devel libdrm-devel libXrandr-devel libxslt-devel libglade2-devel gnutls-devel mtools pax python-dmidecode oddjob sgpio genisoimage wodim abrt-gui desktop-file-utils ant rpmdevtools jpackage-utils rpmlint certmonger pam_krb5 krb5-workstation netpbm-progs openmotif libXmu libXp perl-DBD-SQLite libvirt-java %end _______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list
