Hi ,
I have a suggestion, Please check If they are helpful to you.
Would you please modify ks=hd:sda2:/ks-sa.cfg to ks=hs:UUID='$DEVICE_UUID':ks-sa.cfg
where
DEVICE_UUID is the UUID of /dev/sda2, you can use blkid for getting the value
Also modify
>> harddrive --partition=tmpfs --dir=/mnt/isodir
to
>> harddrive --partition=disk/by-uuid/XXYY-ZZ
Where disk/by-uuid/XXYY-ZZ is the UUID of the partition you are using for Installation
>> created the tar out of cdrom contents and kept in / dir
Also I think, but I am not sure that, there should not be tar for a ISO tree. because installer search for stage2 image from that location. SO It is better you keep it as ISO .
Thanks and Regards,
Anant garg

Hi
I have a situation where I can access the system remotely from BMC and access the console and need to do the automated kickstart installation. Presently system is installed with RHEL6 and followed the below step for hard disk based installation.
1. Copied automated ks.cfg to vmlinuz, initrd.img and images dir to / folder from ISO.
Modified the grub.conf with below lines.
title RedHat Install
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz ro root=UUID=9684465d-8ded-43cc-8069-de5ff713dd40 ks=hd:sda2:/ks-sa.cfg repo=/mnt/isodir stage2=hd:sda2:/images/install.img
initrd /boot/initrd.img
2. created the tar out of cdrom contents and kept in / dir
3. Below are is the content of kickstart file to copy the repo to tmpfs created out of system RAM.
harddrive --partition=tmpfs --dir=/mnt/isodir
Preinstall section code to create the install repository
mount -t tmpfs -o size=1g tmpfs /mnt/isodir
mkdir /mnt/isomount
mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/isomount
cd /mnt/isodir
tar -xzvf /mnt/isomount/repo.tgz
umount /dev/sda2
reboot the system and boot from "Redhat Install" and this triggers the installation. Presently I got struck in partitioning the sda. Any one tried this before? Is there any suggestions or good pointers?
Thanks
Ganesh
