Mike, There is no need to give the kickstart file a specific name, as you start the installation using the name, anything will do. It looks to me that your slash is out of place ( ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg should be ks=cdrom:ks.cfg ) keep in mind that on your cdrom is a initrd.img file that contains a filesystem image. This image is used to create a ramdisk. referencing /ks.cfg means that the file shoud be IN that image file. ( acutally, that is what i do myself) some good info can be found at: http://256.com/gray/docs/redhat_boot/ Matthijs Sneijders CORUS Research, Development & Technology Building 3G16 room 3-312 P.O.

I'm building an install CD with a kickstart cfg embedded in the iso (along with the initrd.img, isolinux.bin, etc). According to the docs from RH, the kickstart file must be named ks.cfg. So I built the iso, burned it to a CD, but when linux boots the box it doesn't see the ks file. I tried a multitude of cmd line entries, such ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg, etc, but no go. What am I doing wrong?
