I recently built a CentOS from the 4.3 ISOs. Now I'm ready to build
another 10 systems using kickstart. I took the anaconda-ks.cfg file
from the first system I built manually, modified it slightly (see
below), and made it available via http. I booted the new system from
the first CentOS 4.3 CD and typed the following:
boot: linux ks=http://hostname/test-ks.cfg
Here are the changes I made to the kickstart file:
- Replaced "cdrom" with "url --url http://hostname";
- Removed xconfig line (slightly different video HW)
- Changed the host name in the network line
- Uncommented the partition information
The system boots the initial kernel, gets an IP address, gets the
kickstart file via http, but then dies with a "installation exited
abnormally -- received signal 11" message. I've done this
successfully in the past. Can a misconfigured kickstart file cause
this problem? How can I debug this?
