Hi, I finally figured out what's wrong with my setup. It's the last 2 lines of my default file. BEFORE: append ksdevice=eth0 initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 noapic acpi=off ks=http://192.168.1.222/ks-fc4.cfg AFTER: append ksdevice=eth0 initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 noapic acpi=off ks=http://192.168.1.222/ks-fc4.cfg now, my client boots via PXE, locates the ks.cfg file and automagically installs fedora. thanks, Sir june ----- Original Message ---- From: Sir June <sir_june@xxxxxxxxx> To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, June 3, 2009 11:08:00 AM Subject: finalizing my kickstart setup Hi, I am trying to do a kickstart install and i guess I am half-way through. i just can't finalize it. Here is my scenario. I have one webserver with Fedora 4 on its document root (/var/www/html/linux/fedora4). The same server acting also as DHCP/TFTP server. And 1 client to install to. I also have my ks.cfg in /var/www/html/ks.cfg ( the webserver is working fine as i have test index.html file working) 1.) The DHCP/TFTP server is working. I can boot my client and its getting the ip address and it starts the initial fedora setup BUT it stops in the Language Selection. It's not reading my kickstart file. so i tried this 2nd way: 2.) I boot the client using a boot disc (1st install cd) and in the menu prompt, i typed: linux ks=http://192.168.1.100/ks.cfg it read my ks.cfg and i was able to install Fedora without touching a key after that. So i guess my kickstart file is working. Now I want to PXEboot my client, read my kickstart file and continue to install via HTTP. What am i missing? this is my "dhcp.conf" ------------------------------ host hp-old { hardware ethernet 00:16:36:EF:D7:95; fixed-address 192.168.1.54; next-server 192.168.1.222; filename "pxelinux.0"; } this is my "/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default" ----------------------------------------------------------- prompt 1 default linux timeout 50 label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 noapic acpi=off Thanks in advance.
