Thanks ! That makes a lot of sense now that I rethink it, seeing that ks.cfg may or may not be available at the time the network is being brought up (depending on where you store it). -T -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of T Jackson Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 12:37 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Determining the interface kickstart will used during the buildwhenthere a more than one Tobias, If you want to boot from a specific device all you have to do is add "ksdevice=eth0" to the append section of the pxelinux.cfg file. The problem is if you have a machine with multiple interfaces and you want to build from aspecific one. How do you know that interface will be eth0, eth1 or eth2. How can you determine which nic will get which device name? --- Tobias Speckbacher <tobias@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Just from recent experience, even when explicitly > specifying: > > network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 > > I get prompted to select the interface to use. > So far I haven't had time to research how to work > around this. > > -T > > -----Original Message----- > From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > T Jackson > Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 10:10 AM > To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Determining the interface kickstart will > used during the build > whenthere a more than one > > Does anyone know how to determine which network card > red hat installer will assign eth1, eth2, etc to > when > performing a kickstart installation? > Example > I have a machine with 3 network cards and I want to > install Red Hat over the network using kickstart so > I > do not have to enter any information. > > Now I am able to perform the installation using > pxelinux / dhcp / nfs /ftp when I only have one > network interface in the machine but when I try to > build a machine with multiple network interfaces I > am > either prompted to select a interface (which is a > big > problem when all the interfaces are the same brand > /model) or the installation falls through to the > menu > for. > > Any ideals how I can determine the interface so I > know > what parameter to feed the install through the > “ksdevice” option? > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe > mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > > > -- > redhat-list mailing list > unsubscribe > mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
