I did as following: 1) I prepared a bootable cdrom (<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-CD">http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-install-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-CD</A> )and put the ks.cfg on top-level directory (<A HREF="http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-putkickstarthere.html">http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/sysadmin-guide/s1-kickstart2-putkickstarthere.html</A> ). Then I boot from cdrom and type on boot: linux ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg In this stage I got the installation menus which says that kickstart fails to read/find the ks.cfg. It seems that ks.cfg somehow can't be read. the ALT+F4 says: unable to identify cd-rom format the ALT+F3says: failed to mount /dev/hdd invalid argument trying to mount device hdd There is no such problem if I put the same ks.cfg on floppy and boot from cdrom and type boot: linux ks=floppy Any clue?
