From grice at berbee.com Mon Nov 1 17:31:25 2004 From: grice at berbee.com (Michael Grice) Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2004 11:31:25 -0600 Subject: RHEL3 and Reiserfs Message-ID: <20041101173125.GL23634@ctg-mail.binc.net> Is it possible to use reiserfs during a RHEL3 installation? I believe you used to be able to get reiserfs during a Red Hat install by booting with "linux reiserfs". Howerver, I can't get that to work even during a normal installation. I realise that the reiserfs module is in the kernel-unsupported package, which probably has a lot to do with it. Initially I thought you could do it with a pre-installation script (i.e., create the root partition as reiserfs before beginning the install and make sure the installation doesn't format it). But when I go to a shell prompt during the install there is no mkfs.reiserfs. Anyone out there have a way of adding reiserfs during installation without adding or recreating reiserfs filesystems with a post-installation script? That doesn't seem to be terribly convenient for filesystems like /usr.

I'd expect you'd have to change any entries which explicity refer to "kernel-source", e.g. in comps.xml, the kickstart file. I don't think comps.rpm is actually used by anaconda, but I could be mistaken...

There is a log created by anaconda that has this output. In your %post scriptlet you need to copy it to the running system. It must be a %post that is not in a chroot. %post --nochroot cp -p /tmp/anaconda.log /mnt/sysimage/root/anaconda.log Cheers...james -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

In my case the suggestion of simply removing the packages in the %post is sorta funny because it there would be hundreds of lines removing packages and the install would be essentially lame as it would take 4 hours to install 83 packages by the time it's all done. peter On 11/9/04 12:45 AM, "Edgar Chill?n 'Chillux'" wrote: > I have tryed to not install the sendmail in the > kikstart.

I'm trying to create a %pre-script that does: 1) If the machine is allready installed with RH9, format / and install a fresh FC3, but keep /home (and another partition). 2) If the machine is not previously installed with RH9, create all needed partitions and install a fresh FC3. 3) Detect whether the machine has a SATA-controller, and thus sda should be used for installs, not hda. I'm using the labels of exisiting partitions to determine whether the machine has been installed with RH9 (the other alternative is an old Debian-installation), and which partition contains what. I either case, I want the user to confirm that my script has guessed right, before the installation continues and potentially removes the current /home... How can I interact with the user in the %pre-section? My current script is attached: The interactivity-part in main() is commented out, but the rest of the script runs as expected and creates the correct files under /tmp/. Any hints on how to read input (y/n) from the user and either proceed or abort the installation, are very much appreciated.

Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2004 11:28:16 -0700 Subject: How to specify local address for remote kickstart file? Message-ID: <379313C94B76D2119AB60008C7A402E409E462AB@IMSNOLAA> Short Explanation: I am trying out various scenarios for network installations. This particular scenario involves having no dhcp server available. If I specify a kickstart file on the installation server (http:// /path/ks.cfg or nfs::/path/ks.cfg), the installation process stops at the point it wants to retrieve the kickstart file and prompts for the local address. Question: Is there a way to specify the address of the local network interface so that when it attempts to retrieve the kickstart file, it does not need to obtain the address, either through dhcp or by an interactive prompt? Long (Winded) Explanation: I have set up a kickstart server and it works well when all intended conditions are met. However, dhcp imposes two limitations on the setup. First, because dhcp is a broadcast protocol, the scope of the kickstart server is limited to a single subnet. Second, I don't have any control over the production dhcp servers in the building. I am exploring several ways to get around these limitations such as having the dhcp packets passed through the routers and/or using a proxy dhcp server. The method I am working on at the moment is to put a grub bootloader on a floppy, have that define the address for the client interface, and point to the kickstart server. Here is a sample entry from the grub.conf file: title RHEL 3 WS kickstart-guided, no dhcp, local ks file ifconfig --address=192.168.99.161 --mask=255.255.255.0 --gateway=192.168.99.1 --server=192.168.99.15 root (nd) kernel /linux-install/rhel3ws/vmlinuz ramdisk_size=10000 ks=floppy initrd /linux-install/rhel3ws/initrd.img Note: the version of grub shipped by Red Hat does not include network support. I had to build a version from Gnu with patches for the network interfaces for this experiment. As best as I can tell, the address for the local interface is defined at least twice and maybe more times during the installation process. The first time is before it retrieves the installation kernel from the kickstart server. That is usually handled by the PXE software on the NIC itself through dhcp. Using this grub method, the address is defined in the grub configuration. The other time I know about is when it attempts to retrieve a kickstart file from the network. If I put the kickstart file on the floppy with the grub bootloader, it does not prompt for the local nework address. The client already knows its address before it attempts to retrieve the kickstart file. Is there a way to tell it to remember that address? Is there a way to specify that address explicitly? There is a ksdevice parameter that will tell the system which client interface to use. Is there a similar parameter to specify the address of that local interface? Thanks!

Do you have groups of computers that are the same? For example we purchased 100 this year from same vendor at same time and same configuration; 50 next year and then 50 from another vendor. As much as I like anaconda, you may be a candidate for new Stateless Linux configuration system. I believe it was developed in the FC3 test releases so that it would be ready for FC3. The idea is that you setup one server--the Stateless Linux server. It will have a snapshot for each of your configuration groups--the Stateless Linux clients. There would be three in my fictions example above. Your machines would be "caching clients". There are options for creating knoppix style CDs or PXE boot diskless clients. In the future you update the configuration of each of your client groups on the server. When you are ready you give the go ahead and the clients update themselves. As usual in a production setting, you may not have time to set this up now but it is worth a look during "free time". The documentation is located here http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/stateless/.

Unfortunately, ours are not that homogeneous. And further: They are separated in groups that have different needs (i.e. the R&D-users have other needs than the production-users). The solution we use is kickstart + cfengine (cfengine.org). It's a really wonderful tool for keeping all the machines in sync: I can create groups based on e.g. IP-ranges, and have different policies applied. Cfengine has many "actions" (e.g.: copy, editfiles, addmounts, shellcommands) that will run on each machine (triggered by cron) and either copy files from the global repository, or change local files on the client. It takes some time to get used to, but once you get it going, it really kicks ass :) Regards, Martin -- "Computer science is not about computers any more than astronomy is about telescopes." -- EW Dijkstra From alyx at foo.ncc.gov.ph Fri Nov 12 03:05:26 2004 From: alyx at foo.ncc.gov.ph (Alexander P.

I am new to the list and have a question about behavior I am seeing during post-install of RHEL 3 U3. In the kickstart %post section I have a script that does several things including: 1. create mount-point dir 2. mount nfs dir 3. run script in the directory The "mount" operation always hangs for a while, and then it completes and things continue fine from there. I put echo statements around the mount and found it always hangs for 5 and a half minutes. I traced the network traffic and found the server is responding as expected to the mount and several NFS requests before there is the 5.5 min delay until the next request comes in.

Yes, I agree. Shame it's included in RHES 3. Perhaps it's included to allow newer versions to continue to serve as install servers of < RH8.

I'm new to this list. I'm trying to perform a kickstart installation (RHEL ES 3) on a machine that has two network interfaces. One of them is not used, and is not connected to the LAN. The other one must be used during installation. The problem is that the interface that must not be used is eth0, and the other one is eth1. During the installation, eth0 is used, and so the installation does not work, as that interface is not connected to the network. We have several machines with the same hardware, and in some of them the "good" interface is eth0, while in others it's eth1. I've tried to disable the unconnected network interface using the BIOS, but the installation still tries to use that network interface. I've also tried changing the IRQ settings in the BIOS, to no avail. How does linux assign a device name to a network interface? Can you disable a network interface in the ks.cfg file? Or can you tell which interface to use in that file? Thanks for your help. Regards, Carlos Ortega Gonz?lez Iberia Sistemas DS/SP/Unidad Prod.

I install via pxeboot, and this is what I wrote in the pxelinux.cfg/default file: append initrd=initrd.img ks=nfs:192.168.0.254:/files/fedora/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth2 Also, in the ks.cfg file you can use --device as a parameter in the network section. My example: #Network information network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth2 --nameserver 192.168.0.254 You will obviously have to use eth1 instead of eth2.

If you add chvt 3 as the first line after the %post it will switch there automagically and you can even use to view a limited amount of stuff that has scrolled off of the screen. > The ks install works fine, it's just the below %post that doesn't effect > anything.

Is this even legal?? Let the system do the work for you. I can tell you for sure %post works when you get the syntax correct. The problem is that if you have 1 character wrong it blows up. :-) Regards, Tom From Chris.McKenzie at entrust.com Wed Nov 17 17:57:00 2004 From: Chris.McKenzie at entrust.com (Chris Mckenzie) Date: Wed, 17 Nov 2004 12:57:00 -0500 Subject: %post DHCP? Message-ID: Hi guys. Thanks for answering my previous post, I removed the -nochroot from %post and I was able to work some magic on the rest of the FS. My chvt 3 was in the script I was trying to copy, I moved it to the kickstart itself. Now, my apparent last problem is I can't get DHCP working from %post. The kickstart install was from the same NFS server that I want to copy my script from to the local system. The NFS install proceed fine, but %post isn't able to mount a new NFS point. I've tried... %post ifconfig service portmap start mkdir /mnt/entrust mount 10.4.146.47:/var/entrust/eewmc/7.5/image /mnt/entrust cp /mnt/entrust/init/runonce.bsh /tmp/runonce.bsh ...the TTY reports that eth0 doesn't have an IP address yet. It's the regular ifconfig output, but with the IP/Mask line missing. Naturally the mount isn't going to succeed if it can't reach the server, so that error is also reported. Are there any generally kickstart issues with using DHCP? I also tried the following in my %post without luck. %post echo "check_link_down() {" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 echo " return 1;" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 echo "}" >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0 ifconfig service portmap start mkdir /mnt/entrust mount 10.4.146.47:/var/entrust/eewmc/7.5/image /mnt/entrust cp /mnt/entrust/init/runonce.bsh /tmp/runonce.bsh This time when ifup runs, I get...

Message-ID: Thanks Daniel. My ks.cfg had... network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp nfs --server 10.4.146.47 --dir /var/entrust/RedHat/Enterprise3_u3 The OS install worked fine, but the %post mount with just the mount command failed to find the server as mentioned below. I tried switching to static IP and it worked fine. The %post mount found the NFS server using the eth0 which was setup but the kickstart OS install. I stuck the ifconfig in there to see what was going on with DHCP, the RedHat CDs were installed over NFS, so why can't I access the same NFS with a separate mount point? My install environment is going to have a number of system kickstart'ing at the same time, I want to make sure they each have their own separate IP. Any ideas?

No, there's no magic in the kernel; it launches /sbin/init as always. init calls loader, loader calls /usr/sbin/anaconda (usually). See loader2/loader.c for details. Please then reconsider what you're trying to accomplish and why - running the installer like this is unusual and unnecessary. Why not simply use the partitioning and bootloader kickstart options to install onto the secondary disk?

If i remember correctly anaconda fails to try vfat for driver disks from the network, it's a different code path for local and network and i guess someone forgot to add vfat in the network branch. I can't remember if i added a bugzilla entry about it either :( A quick solution is to rebuild your driver disk as ext2 instead of vfat.

We recently got a new version of our hardware ( HP DL360's ) that use a new storage array. When we tried to kickstart, it complained about the pcimap and IRQ and IO mappings for the cciss.o ( the HP driver ) and wouldn't proceed, saying it couldn't find any disks to install to. Went to the HP website and found a new version of the driver that supports the new array. Unfortunately, that driver is only supported on kernel versions 2.4.21-9 and 2.4.21-15. The kernel version of the initrd.img we use is 2.4.21-4. We basically just copied the pxelinux initrd.img from the install CDs. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but the correct procedure for updating the driver in the initrd.img would be... mv initrd.img initrd.img.gz gzip -d initrd.img.gz mount -o loop ./initrd.img /mnt/init cp /mnt/init/modules/modules.cgz /tmp cd /tmp mv ./modules.cgz ./modules.gz gzip -d ./modules.gz cpio -idv < modules So now I've got my exploded modules directory, 2.4.21-4.ELBOOT I need to add the cciss.o driver to the 2.4.21-4.ELBOOT/i386 dir ( replacing the old one ). Once that's done... cd /tmp find ./2.4.21-4.ELBOOT -print > /tmp/filelist cpio -o -H crc < filelist > modules.cpio gzip --best --no-name modules.cpio mv modules.cpio modules.cgz mv modules.cgz /mnt/init/modules umount /mnt/init gzip --best --no-name initrd.img mv initrd.img.gz initrd.img So if that process isn't wrong, I can ask my question. How do I make a new bootable initrd.img off of a kernel that I'm not running? The machine that we PXE and kickstart off is at 2.4.21-20.ELsmp and we don't want to downgrade to 2.4.21-9 or 2.4.21-15. I suppose I could install them as a separate kernel and just reboot off of that when I need to. So I guess I should rephrase my question. How do I make a bootable initrd.img usable by PXE?

I'll certainly give it a try by making it an ext2 fs. Could it be possible that the loop module isn't included with the bootdisk.img? Just starting to dig into this a bit more. I'm fairly sure the image is being transferred correctly. I'm able to ftp it from one box and mount via mount -o loop dd.img /mnt/loop - Mike -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Just run buildinstall that's part of anaconda-runtime. Point it to your kickstart image (RHEL 3 U3 extracted ISOs or your personally-tweaked tree) and it will make the boot floppy images (and PXE initrd) from the U3 kernel. Manually tweaking initrd isn't ideal in my opinion. Just edit the scripts in anaconda-runtime as you need to. For example, we comment out the qlaXXX drivers in the pci table so none of our SAN devices will get overwritten by an accidental kickstart. :) /Brian/ On Thu, 2004-11-18 at 14:44, Steven Hajducko wrote: > I'm not sure if mkinitrd will compile an initrd.img that can be used for > PXE.

I've found a suitable solution: First of all, I leave only one network --bootproto... entry in the ks.cfg file. In this entry, I have removed the --device option. This way, the system ask which interface should be used for the installation. This works even in different machines, as you manually select the interface. And, in the %post section of the ks.cfg file, I've added a script that checks the /etc/modules.conf file, and makes sure that the alias are properly set (changing the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files when necessary).

Nothing fancy, just the basics. You can replace the append ks= with ks=cdrom:/. Hope this helps. Basic steps to create a basic custom RedHat "Install CD" from an existing RedHat install: 1. Create a cdimage directory: mkdir /var/bootcd/cdimage 2. Mount and copy the RedHat CD1 contents into the CD image directory. 3. Edit the /isolinux/isolinux.cfg file, add the bold changes below. default ks prompt 1 timeout 10 display boot.msg F1 boot.msg F2 options.msg F3 general.msg F4 param.msg F5 rescue.msg F7 snake.msg label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img label text kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text label expert kernel vmlinuz append expert initrd=initrd.img label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=nfs::/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img label lowres kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img lowres The label ks parameter supports http, nfs, floppy, cdrom and pretty much all /dev devices. See RedHat kickstart docs for specifics. Note: The kickstart location must be good. By hardcoding it's location, this "Install CD" will always look in the defined location. 4. Create an ISO using mkisofs, or other comparable iso creation tool. (note the below is all 1 line) mkisofs -o ../installcd.iso -V 'AppCD' -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -V -T . 5. The "Install CD" iso is now ready to be burnt, mounted or virtually used by a VM. When booted in the appliance, the loader will initiate the ks.cfg install within 10 milliseconds. -----Original Message----- From: kickstart-list-bounces at redhat.com [mailto:kickstart-list-bounces at redhat.com] On Behalf Of Brian Zuromski Sent: November 19, 2004 10:33 AM To: kickstart-list at redhat.com Subject: kickstart Hello, Can someone layout the steps for creating a kickstart iso from scratch for RHES3.

It is hard to imagine that there would be significant differences between Update 2 and Update 3, but maybe it would be worth the effort to rebuild your kickstart file with redhat-config-kickstart.

Message-ID: Morning all. Does anyone have any suggestions on handling kickstart installation failure logging? If a kickstart succeeds in installing, I know because my post script runs. If it fails, either within the middle of the ks process or fails to run my post script, the system will reboot without pausing to let me know what the problem was. Assuming the system installed enough that I could take a look, none of the logs I've been looking at would indicate what the problem was. Any ideas? I'd like to append my post script logging to whatever existing kickstart logging may exist. Thanks. - Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

If you mean logging of anticipated failures, then IIRC there's a syslog output file left in /root or /tmp, which I'd expect would be accessed via the usual API (syslog(3) or logger(1)).

Message-ID: My problem is the unknown. I won't be installing the boxes so I'm trying to automate as much as possible. If I don't know how much completed successfully, then depending on how far the kickstart install got, I might not be able to check. If I can check, as in the post fails for instance because the NFS isn't available (or something like that) I only have the TTY3 screen dump that's not logged anywhere and doesn't remain on screen. (or the box is installed headless, just plugin, pop the CD in, and go for coffee, when the CD ejects, power down and add it to the pile) If it was, I could write a post install script that the installer would run manually or auto run and report to another server, etc... It could check a bunch of stuff, including a RH KS install log for expected results. (or known failures, like NFS unavailable, etc...)

Message-ID: <18458A0A-3CB1-11D9-A796-000A95AF29B8@wigdahl.com> Can anyone speak to adding/updating packages to the base install tree for Fedora Core 3 / FC3 ? I've read a bit on doing this for FC1, but some things seem to have changed enough that the available "documentation" on this is more or less broken. I have tried myself by taking the following steps: * adding a package to the RPMS directory (just starting with one until I get the process figured out) * creating a new group in the comps.xml file with the package listed. this portion appears to be documented correctly * running genhdlist with this command: /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers --productpath Fedora $BASE where $BASE is the directory containing my "Fedora" directory... This seems to work, until the point in the kickstart process where the file "Fedora/base/comps.rpm" is loaded (in my case via HTTP) and anaconda experiences an unrecoverable error and terminates the install process (unmounting all filesystems as if it were shutting down). I've looked through all the virtual consoles for any type of explanation as to what the problem is, but there's no pertinent information as to what might be the problem. * So I resorted to updating the comps.rpm file with this command: rpmbuild -bb --quiet --target i386 \ --define "basedir ${BASE}/Fedora/base" \ --define "compsversion 3" \ --define "_rpmdir /tmp" \ /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/comps-fedora.spec This process succeeds and I placed the resulting comps.rpm file in $BASE/Fedora/base and repeat my kickstart process only to find it chokes again when it loads my new comps.rpm, again with no pertinent error information on any of the virtual consoles.

Message-ID: <20041124005144.GA22162@linuxace.com> Any ideas on whether it is possible to use a FC3 kernel and/or anaconda to load FC1? I've got hundreds of boxes on FC1 so don't really want to upgrade, but just recently we've received some Dell Optiplex 280 boxes which only support USB keyboards, which won't work with the FC1 kickstart. In addition, they use ICH6 SATA, which FC1 doesn't recognize. Sure, I could try to update all the necessary drivers to support this hardware in modules.cgz, but was hoping there was an 'easier' way by just using the FC3 boot kernel. Thoughts?

Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 08:33:53 -0700 Subject: Need advice about partitioning Message-ID: <379313C94B76D2119AB60008C7A402E409E462C2@IMSNOLAA> I'm setting up a Kickstart configuration for engineering workstations at our site. I need some advice on how to partition the disk. I was hoping you guys could provide some ideas. My workstations are Dell 670 series PCs with 4 GB of RAM and a 147 GB SCSI disk. The partitions I'm proposing to use are these: /boot - 100 MB / - 20 GB swap - 2 GB swap - 2 GB swap - 2 GB swap - 2 GB /var - 20 GB /opt - 20 GB /extra - rest of disk The reason I have the /extra partition is that I think the bulk of the space will be needed by the /var and /opt partitions. However, I'm not sure what the exact need will be, so I want to hold the "extra" in reserve until I do know. For this purpose, I *think* the optimal layout would be to have the /var, /opt and /extra partitions grouped together at the end of the extended partition. That would allow me the most flexibility to shift space after the initial partitioning. My first Kickstart configuration looked like this: part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 part / --fstype ext3 --size 20480 part /var --fstype ext3 --size 20480 part swap --size 2048 part swap --size 2048 part swap --size 2048 part swap --size 2048 part /opt --fstype ext3 --size 20480 part /extra --fstype ext3 --size 20480 -grow The partition table I got had /boot, /opt and /extra as primary partitions and /var and the swap patitions as logical partitions. I'm thinking the worst way to layout the disk with future changes in mind is to have the partitions I want to change split across the extended partition. So I tried to "guide" Kickstart by laying out my partitions this way: part /boot --fstype ext3 --size 100 --asprimary part / --fstype ext3 --size 20480 --asprimary part swap --size 2048 --asprimary part swap --size 2048 part swap --size 2048 part swap --size 2048 part /var --fstype ext3 --size 20480 part /opt --fstype ext3 --size 20480 part /extra --fstype ext3 --size 20480 --grow This time, /var, /opt and /extra were put on the extended partition, but /extra was the first logical partition and the three swap partitions were put at the end. So here come some pretty nebulous questions. 1. Can I "guide" Kickstart to lay out the disk the way I want? Or would I need to run fdisk in the %pre section to gain that much control? 2. Do I need this much control? Does it really matter how the partitions are laid out relative to each other if I expect to shift space between them later with parted? 3. Am I fixated on the wrong idea? Is there another way to think about this disk layout altogether? Thanks! Andrew Robinson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

It has been around for long enough now, and been used in many production environments so I believe it has reached 'mature' status. It will give you the flexibility that you are looking for and you won't need to use parted later to mess around with growing/shrinking partitions. LVM allows you to add/remove/grow/shrink partitions very easily and safely. The only restriction that I am aware of is that you shouldn't setup your /boot partition on LVM. But that is not really a problem - you setup a 'primary' partition for /boot and then you can setup the rest of the drive as a 'logical group' that would contain your 'logical volumes' such as /, /var, /opt, /extra, etc. If you ever need more space in your /var logical volume, then with the LVM tools you can easily bump up the size if you remembered to leave yourself some free space in the logical group. (like you originally planned with the /extra partition) Kickstarting LVM is probably easier done by using 'disk druid' during a regular gui install and then snipping the config out of the anaconda- ks.cfg file that is created in /root after the install is finished. Or maybe the system-config-kickstart tool can easily configure LVM partitions? I hope that gives you some food for thought to munch on :) pantz From festifn at rupert.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de Fri Nov 26 16:44:06 2004 From: festifn at rupert.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de (Florian Festi) Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2004 17:44:06 +0100 (MET) Subject: Need advice about partitioning In-Reply-To: <379313C94B76D2119AB60008C7A402E409E462C2@IMSNOLAA> References: <379313C94B76D2119AB60008C7A402E409E462C2@IMSNOLAA> Message-ID: > 1.

Partition one workstation by hand to get the output and format the disks in %pre. You can use --onpart to place the mountpoints on the right partitions. This is a bit low level but worked fine for us. cu Florian Festi From Andrew.W.Robinson at mms.gov Fri Nov 26 17:14:24 2004 From: Andrew.W.Robinson at mms.gov (Robinson, Andrew W.)

You can pass useradd an encrypted password when you invoke the command. In fact, if you do not specify the -p option, useradd will create the account with *NO* password. Programs that are run in the %post section are not part of the anaconda installation. The %post section is a "hook" for extra programs to accomplish tasks that anaconda does not provide for. Because they are not part of anaconda, they will not interactively ask for missing information. In fact, I've seen threads on this listserv about how to get programs in the %post section to make interactive queries. Bottom line is running programs in the %post section is similar to running them in shell scripts. If the programs queries the user in a shell script, it will attempt to query the user in the %post section.

You can setup lvm in a regular kickstart, checkout http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/linux/2004/08/19/examples/sample-ks.cfg and http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html the logvol option specifically. - Matt From Andrew.W.Robinson at mms.gov Fri Nov 26 19:33:17 2004 From: Andrew.W.Robinson at mms.gov (Robinson, Andrew W.)

In theory, I think you are correct. Anaconda is just an installer. There may be some pitfalls you will have to work around. I have not installed FC3 yet. I hope to do that this weekend. There may be some policy changes in anaconda from FC1 to FC3. I think LVM may be required now. I don't know if you can get around it. FC2 went to the ALSA sound system. On a server you may not care or even have sound to worry about. I don't know how the FC3 anaconda will leave an FC1 box. Speaking of sound FC2 and on use a 2.6 kernel. The 2.6 kernel uses a modprobe.conf file for kernel modules now. 2.4 used a modules.conf file. You may be completely out of luck if the 2.4 kernels don't have support for SATA devices. If a later version does, then you'd have to rebuild both the anaconda kernel and remaster the installer so that it has a later kernel rpm. You could try say the FC3 2.6 kernel with the FC1 anaconda installer to avoid some of these problems. I am just guessing here as I have never tried something like that. However, in your circumstance it may be a sane thing to try. ;-) Good luck. It would be interesting to hear the results of your experiment. It sounds like you my have a snake with bolts coming out of its neck. We'll see you with whacked out hair saying, "It's alive".

For some reason I like to create my users with 3 lines /usr/sbin/useradd -u 5000 username /usr/bin/chfn -f 'Full Name xTelephoneExtension' username /usr/sbin/usermod -p '$1$ufc1f0$f8pM9Hf.e5k92IhCS2tmh.' username one way to generate those is with grub-md5-crypt Neil On Friday 26 November 2004 22:42, Robinson, Andrew W. wrote: > Sounds good.
