I'm trying my first kickstart install, and it's not going so well. I created a ks.cfg file, based on an anaconda-ks.cfg file that was automatically created on install, created an iso image of the boot cd with the ks.cfg in the top-level directory, and booted off it. When I do so, though, I just get the normal installation stuff -- it appears to ignore the ks.cfg file. I followed the instructions directly from the Redhat website: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-CD http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-putkickstarthere.html Everything looks fine on the CD: ~> ls -lAF /media/cdrecorder total 5447 -r--r--r-- 1 stpierre users 2048 2006-01-11 10:08 boot.cat -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 292 2006-01-11 10:07 boot.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 957 2006-01-11 10:07 general.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 3773827 2006-01-11 10:07 initrd.img -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 9856 2006-01-11 10:07 isolinux.bin -rwxr-xr-x 1 stpierre users 550 2006-01-11 10:07 isolinux.cfg* -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 2800 2006-01-11 10:07 ks.cfg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 730 2006-01-11 10:07 options.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 869 2006-01-11 10:07 param.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 468 2006-01-11 10:07 rescue.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 549 2006-01-11 10:07 snake.msg -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 6056 2006-01-11 10:07 splash.lss -r--r--r-- 1 stpierre users 2879 2006-01-11 10:08 TRANS.TBL -rw-r--r-- 1 stpierre users 1772857 2006-01-11 10:07 vmlinuz Any ideas? Would a parse error in my ks.cfg cause this behavior? If so, is there any way to validate the ks.cfg file? Thanks!
