Hello all, Does anyone here install the RHELv4U3(i386) via kickstart+NFS without problem? I've tried dozens of times and i'm sure there still exists problem in RHELv4U3's kickstart installation. After searched the redhat's knowledge base, i found the Exactly problem information. But things strange that according that knowledge base brief, the problem should be fixed in RHELv4U1 and later !! But the issue still appear in v4U3 !! Did the Redhat team really fixed it or not? I've double checked my nfs server configuration, my network setting and connection status and parameters that passed to the installation routine to ensure there are no problem exists. The RedHat's Knowledge Base brief can be found at <a href="http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_42_5549.shtm.and">http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_42_5549.shtm.and</a> I also paste it here. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Issue: <div class="Ques">Why does a kickstart installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 work when using a DHCP IP address, but not when providing a static IP address for the network adapter? </div> <div class="resolution">Resolution:</div> Release Found: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Problem: Anaconda fails to properly set up networking in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 during a kickstart installation if a static IP address is supplied for the network adapter on the system to be installed. One or all of the following symptoms may be observed: <ul><li>Boot using anaconda with the kickstart file located on either an HTTP server, NFS server, or FTP server ("ks=http://....") in text mode.The</li><li> installer will probe for a DHCP address and fail (if you do not have a DHCP server on your network, this is expected).</li><li> Enter the proper static IP information for your network adapter, select OK and continue.The</li><li> installer will fail determining the local hostname via a reverse DNS lookup. The report from virtual terminal 4 (which can be reached by pressing the <tt class="COMMAND">alt+F4</tt> keys) says that the installer cannot set the default route and that the network is unreachable.The</li><li> network adapter is properly recognized by the installer and the proper modules for the adapter have been loaded. This can be observed by pressing <tt class="COMMAND"> alt+F3 </tt> during the installation.If</li><li> you select to obtain the IP address via DHCP, the installation proceeds without issue.</li></ul> Solution: This is a known issue with anaconda in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. The fix for this problem will be included in Update 1 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Currently, the only workaround available is to use a DHCP server to obtain IP address settings for your network adapter. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Regards, Jun
