Hey list, I recently started working with kickstart. It is awesome! I really had no idea how easy it would be to use. I do have one strange issue, that's really not that important, but that I'd like to figure out. I like to watch all the kernel boot messages go by in text mode by default, and when I've set up a box in the past, I've modified grub's menu.lst file to remove all the GUI components of the boot. But when I try this from a kickstart-installed box, either from a %post section or manually, I still get (mostly) the GUI boot process. Here's my relevant menu.lst exerpts: first, the one working the way I like: #boot=/dev/hda default=0 timeout=5 #splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-194.11.4.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.img Then, the one not behaving the way I expect: #boot=/dev/sda default=0 timeout=5 #splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz #hiddenmenu title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/ initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img I'm not sure why they're behaving differently; AFAICT the two are the same modulo the kernel version. Any suggestions for what I can look at next? --keith -- kkeller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
