Hello all,
I've been struggling with an issue with my kickstart configuration for a while now. My kickstart files are stored within the initrd image. What I would like to do here, is when the kickstart first starts up, I want it to grab a DHCP address (it does at the moment) so it can grab all of the necessary installation data off the net. Then, at some point _IN_ the install process, I'd like to have it query for manually input network settings. Here is my current kickstart script:
auth --useshadow --enablemd5
bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel
text
firewall --enabled --port=22:tcp
firstboot --disable
keyboard us
lang en_US
logging --level=info
url --url=http://mirror.nexcess.net/CentOS/5.5/os/x86_64/
reboot --eject
rootpw --iscrypted xx
selinux --enforcing
skipx
timezone --isUtc America/Detroit
install
part /boot --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext3" --size=512 --ondisk=sda
part swap --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="swap" --size=2048 --ondisk=sda
part / --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext3" --grow --size=1 --ondisk=sda
part /backup --bytes-per-inode=4096 --fstype="ext3" --grow --size=1 --ondisk=sdb
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0
%packages --nobase
@core
system-config-network-tui
%post
echo "nameserver 4.2.2.1" > /etc/resolv.conf
echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/resolv.conf
# write netconfig script
cat << EOF > /bin/netconfig
#!/bin/bash
# check if user is root
if [[ \$EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
echo "This script must be run as root" 1>&2
exit 1
fi
# run system-config-network-tui
/usr/sbin/system-config-network-tui
# set variables
eth0f="/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0"
eth1f="/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1"
netcfg="/etc/sysconfig/network"
# turn on eth1 if it has an address, remove gateway.. shouldn't be set here
# anyways
if [ -f "\$eth1f" ]; then
if grep -q "IPADDR" \$eth1f; then
sed -i 's/ONBOOT=no/ONBOOT=yes/' \$eth1f
sed -i '/^GATEWAY/d' \$eth1f
sed -i '/^HOTPLUG/d' \$eth1f
fi
fi
# move gateway from ifcfg-eth0 to /etc/sysconfig/network
if [ -f "\$eth0f" ]; then
e0gw=\$(grep "GATEWAY" \$eth0f)
sed -i '/^GATEWAY/d' \$eth0f
# check to see if the gateway is already set. if it is, delete it first
if ! grep -q "GATEWAY" /etc/sysconfig/network; then
echo \$e0gw >> \$netcfg
else
sed -i '/^GATEWAY/d' \$netcfg
echo \$e0gw >> \$netcfg
fi
fi
EOF
chmod +x /bin/netconfig
At the moment, I have a not-so-elegant script written to the server to be run manually after install. I began using system-config-network-tui vanilla, but realized it had some differences from the network configuration tool in anaconda (net.c?) I tried my best to correct those differences with my netconfig script. I've already tried running system-config-network-tui in the %post section, but it doesn't seem to work. If anyone has had experience in dealing with a scenario such as this, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Daniel Theisen <dtheisen@xxxxxxxxxxx>
