Zitat von "Christer M. Fekjan" <drift.CentOS.i02@xxxxxx>:

Hello Ralf,

Does your kickstart file contain all obligatory settings? Like e.g. language.
Otherwise the installation will prompt for these, at least it did in previous
CentOS versions.

In my kickstart file I have these settings for an old CentOS 5 version (used
ks a lot then):
# use whatever fits you
# System keyboard
keyboard no
# System language
lang nb_NO

From a running CentOS 7 system's kickstart files (generated from the
installation):
- /root/anaconda-ks.cfg and/or
- /root/initial-setup-ks.cfg
# Keyboard layouts
keyboard --vckeymap=no --xlayouts='no'
# System language
lang en_US.UTF-8

As you see, the directives for v5 and v7 differs slightly. I don't know
whether v5 directives would work on v7 or the other way around. Anyway, if you install a system manually, copying the necessary configuration directives from
the then generated /root/*ks.cfg-files should give you a working ks-file.

Also check that the path to the ks-file is correct. If possible host it on a
webserver or any other way you can check, by logs or other means, that the ks-
file is requested and correctly retrieved.

Good luck, hope it helps!

Kind regards,
Christer M. Fekjan

Hallo,
thanks for the hints.
In which file do you refere to the ks.cfg and which syntax are you using?
Is it isolinux.cg?

Ralf
