Thx, > > -A. > Yes, I'd take this up with kickstart-list if you are having problems configuring static IP's. You said: "This leads me to believe that there must be additional kernel options not mentioned in the documentation " I really doubt it, though it's hard to tell what's going on just from your email. I would take this up with <a href="mailto:kickstart-list@redhat.com"> kickstart-list@redhat.com</a> as networking setups do come up there quite a lot. I've also created a Google search engine for it here that turns up a lot of threads on the subject of static IP configuration ... <a href="http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=016811804524159694721%3A1h7btspnxtu">http://google.com/coop/cse?cx=016811804524159694721%3A1h7btspnxtu</a> If you can't find an answer, you could also boot DHCP and just use the kickstart to configure the static configuration, or you could also use DHCP reservations for IP assignment (which cobbler makes quite easy to handle with manage_dhcp enabled). > Jens Ahrens wrote: > >> I'm running FC7 with >> kernel-xen-2.6.20-2931.fc7 >> xen-libs-3.1.0-2.fc7 >> xen-3.1.0-2.fc7 >> cobbler-0.6.1-2.fc7 >> >> I'm trying to install a paravirtual machine >> (Scientific Linux 4.5) with a fixed ip-address(no >> private ip) and hostname and a kickstartfile >> accessible via e.g. http (nfs would also be possible). >> Everything seems to work, but the installation tries >> to determine the IP for eth0, which ends up in a menu >> asking for ip, netmask, gateway and dns. >> If I do the input manually the installtion continue >> using the values provided by my kickstart file. >> >> How can I pass the values like ip, netmask, gateway >> and dns to the SL4.5 installer, without having to type >> them in manually? >> >> Thanks in advance >> >> >> >> Wissenswertes für Bastler und Hobby Handwerker.
