Problem with reading ks.cfg from the cdrom

[Avrahami David]

Hi,

I'm a newbie to kickstart and I am trying to install RHEL 3.0 by kickstart
procedure from the cdrom.
I did as following:

1) I prepared a bootable cdrom   
(http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-ins
tall-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-CD
<http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/x8664-multi-ins
tall-guide/s1-steps-install-cdrom.html#S2-STEPS-MAKE-CD>  )and put the
ks.cfg  
on top-level directory
(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>  ).
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?

David
