Hey all, I am kind of new to Linux, and I am attempting to fix a kernel panic with my kickstart. I am trying to fix an apm problem on our laptops. We manually do the fix now by running the grub editor when the system is loaded and add apm=off to the second line. Once the system is loaded we add that to the grub.conf. This fixes the kernel panic. What I am trying to do is add something to the %post script section of my kickstart. The kickstart works perfectly except for the %post scripts. I cannot figure out how to either a. copy a new grub.conf from my cdrom to the /boot/grub/ directory or b. write to the current grub.conf file I have tried it a couple of different ways, but none seem to work. First I tried this: ######################################################### #This will allow the computer to turn off the APM support ######################################################### cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.orig cp /mnt/cdrom/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf It didn't work, then I tried this: ####################################################### #fix the /boot/grub/grub.conf file - it defaults to a #apm which causes a kernel panic ####################################################### if ( ! -e /boot/grub/grub.conf.orig ) then cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.orig sed -e 's/ide-scsi/ide-scsi apm=off/' /boot/grub/grub.conf.orig > /boot/grub/grub.conf endif It did not work, finally I am trying this: ####################################################### #fix the /boot/grub/grub.conf file - it defaults to a #apm which causes a kernel panic ####################################################### if ( ! -e /boot/grub/grub.conf.orig ) then cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf.orig sed -e 's/ide-scsi/ide-scsi apm=off/' /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf.orig > /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf endif The system is loading right now.
