Re: PXE-based kickstart fails on RHEL/CentOS-7.4

Thanks!

However, it turned out I had mixed up the initrd-file. With the correct one it worked as before.

You might want to try appending the following anaconda parameter to the menu append line. 

inst.stage2=<url where bootable full dvd media contents are hosted>

This can also be replaced by inst.repo parameter.

Hi,

have for a long time used a setup to use kickstart over PXE. The "netboot-file" responsible for starting kickstart has the following contents:

default linux

serial 0,9600n8

label linux

  kernel vmlinuz-centos73

  append console=tty0 initrd=initrd-centos73.img ks=http://192.168.0.198/kickstart/ks-centos73.cfg

However, when I apply this on CentOS-7.4 (after changing image and kernel) it hangs on "switchroot":

"... specified switch root path /sysroot does not seem to be an OS tree. os-release file is missing."

Any hints on what may be causing this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

/jon
