I am having a problem using nfs and kickstart. My ks.cfg file has the entry: install nfs --server=192.170.45.2 --dir=/software/install_tree However, at the start of the installation, it says that this directory cannot be mounted. I click on OK, then I am presented with the IP address and the directory from the ks.cfg file. I confirm these values clicking OK and the installation goes on to succeed, with all the packages copied from the nfs server. So, the nfs is obviously working. Any ideas why it says it cannot mount the directory in the first instance?? Many thanks, Liz Beresford. ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

I am having a problem using nfs and kickstart. My ks.cfg file has the entry: install nfs --server=192.170.45.2 --dir=/software/install_tree However, at the start of the installation, it says that this directory cannot be mounted. I click on OK, then I am presented with the IP address and the directory from the ks.cfg file. I confirm these values clicking OK and the installation goes on to succeed, with all the packages copied from the nfs server. So, the nfs is obviously working. Any ideas why it says it cannot mount the directory in the first instance??

If not, then that indicates some other error entirely, such as timeouts waiting for DHCP response, rather than NFS issues.

It has been awhile since I have used lilo but as I recall here are the steps for use. 1.) Edit /etc/lilo.conf 2.) Run the /sbin/lilo command. This sets information in your boot sector. With grub you do not have to 'run grub' like you have to 'run lilo' with each edit of lilo.conf 3.) Reboot so that lilo passes your hdb=ide-scsi module information to the kernel. Did you perform all of these steps?

Please try this. Use whatever you want to call the mount point directory. In the example it is myusb. However, I think anaconda puts its /tmp and /mnt in another location so you will have to make adjustments. Use your alt f1-f4 keys to poke around and find where they are.

Anaconda is written in the Python programming language. Visit http://www.python.org/ for on-line documentation. This is a good introduction http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/lpython/. This is a good book on the graphics side of the world http://www.manning.com/grayson but you will want to use gtk libraries.

It may be as simple as hacking on the dispatch.py file. ... installSteps = [ ("welcome", ("id.configFileData",)), ("betanag", betaNagScreen, ("intf", "dir")), ("language", ("intf", "id.instLanguage")), ("keyboard", ("id.instLanguage.getDefaultKeyboard()", "id.keyboard")), ... Note that whacking out the language line may cause problems later in the dispatch list. If you use a kickstart file and configure both the keyboard and lang options in the kickstart file, then those screens will not appear during the installation. Anaconda does not display any screens that are fully configured via a kickstart file. Do you really need to hack anaconda files, when you can have this option that is already well tested? Please see http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html for more information. Use "linux ks=floppy" when the first CD boots to use the ks file that selects your language preferences. There are other ways to retrieve the kickstart file too. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/custom-guide/s1-kickstart2-startinginstall.html Greg From drkludge at cox.net Tue Sep 7 06:21:53 2004 From: drkludge at cox.net (Greg Morgan) Date: Mon, 06 Sep 2004 23:21:53 -0700 Subject: Mounting USB key in %post script In-Reply-To: <41390B62.5070805@cox.net> References: <41350B7C.7020409@funkware.com> <41390B62.5070805@cox.net> Message-ID: <413D5381.3010400@cox.net> Greg Morgan wrote: > Alex Tang wrote: > >> Hi folks. >> >> I've been reading the threads about booting and installing from >> kickstarts on USB Keys, however, i'm trying to mount a USB key in a >> %post script (in the chroot environment).

The original one had line wraps, and someone was having problems applying the patch because of it. When I get a chance, I'll look at the other patches to verify that they work.

Yes, you can load the first stage from a bootable CD which doesn't contain stage2.img, then load the kickstart file from a floppy, then load the second stage, comps file and packages from the network. BUT... I don't know why you'd be concerned about files on the CD in this case. If you want to install from CD, then stage2.img must be present.

One thing is different in this project: Besides giving you a fully automatic installation system, it also keeps already installed systems in sync with the central configuration. This is solved by generating RPMs consisting of configuration files that get pulled out to the computers by yum or apt-get.

Another way to perform the dos to unix conversion is to edit your file with gvim or vim. Use this sequence vim mykickstartfile :set ff=unix ZZ Vim is available for the MS Windows platform, if you are editing there.

I'm installing from a USB pen, with packages coming from http, so I have plenty of space on the pen to hold all the modules and drives I want. now, I tried to just replace vmlinuz with a (large) static kernel. this worked, in the sense that the system booted with that kernel, but then the system proceeds to boot from the harddrive, not from the USB pen and hence it doesn't start the kickstart process. obviously, there is something more than just replacing the kernel that's needed. now, I can use 2.4 if I have to, but I'd really like to use 2.6 if I can. all I wish to do is to replace the RHEL-kernels with a working kernel with one patch.

"boot from harddrive" suggests the initrd isn't being correctly picked up. Is it present on the pendrive, next to the kernel? Is the bootloader being passed the correct initrd= argument? > obviously, there is something more than just replacing the kernel > that's needed. Rather than tapping in at this point, I'd suggest recreating the kernel-BOOT package, patched to your liking, and rebuilding anaconda. > [1] I'd also need to make the kernel available after the machine > boots from the harddrive.

Does typing "reboot" manually at the console work ? The console screen appears by pressing ++. (May be not , one of ,,,,,, anyway. ) Also, please check /mnt/sysimage/sbin/reboot exists and works .

If you have params that don't change often (dns=..., netmask=...), they can be included in your custom syslinux.cfg, like: label linux kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img label custom kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text gateway=192.168.1.2 dns=192.168.1.1 netmask=255.255.255.0 ks=ftp://192.168.1.3/RHEL-3/kickstart/default.cfg method=ftp://192.168.1.3/RHEL-3 Now you just need to type: boot: custom ip=192.168.1.5 and you are done with ip configuration. We provide a default partition scheme, and an opportunity in %pre to make one-time, runtime changes to it, like this: %pre chvt 3 # change to virtual terminal 3 exec < /dev/tty3 > /dev/tty3 # and make sure keyboard comes with us clear echo "Some message asking if user wants to edit the default partitioning in the temp, local copy of the kickstart file" echo "type 'e' to edit, or press enter to continue with kickstart" read reply if echo "$reply" |grep -q ^e$ then vi /tmp/ks.cfg fi When user quits vi, the install continues. Again, it's not graphical, and expects user to be able to edit kickstart file. (Can also change other fields, packages for example.) -Ed On Wed, 2004-09-22 at 13:18, Shyam Mani wrote: > Hi All, > I'm trying to create two seperate kickstart CDs, one using RH9 > & another using FC2.

Use the %include directive, and have the %pre scriptlet write the relevant data to the file. (Note, the file must exist, or anaconda will abort) I write various computed info to files in /tmp (e.g. /tmp/group-include), and reference that at the appropriate place in the ks.cfg file with a %include /tmp/group-include works like a champ -- no munging of the ks.cfg file proper. If you want graphics, you pretty much have to use the snack module from python, as it works in text mode (and dialog isn't available to %pre scriptlets). --Hal From peter at boku.net Sun Sep 26 22:50:19 2004 From: peter at boku.net (Peter Eisch) Date: Sun, 26 Sep 2004 17:50:19 -0500 Subject: Custom cdrom kernel update issue on 7.3 Message-ID: I've updated the kernel on my cdrom to 2.4.27 and updated the boot.img, drivers in initrd.img and stage2.img.

As another poster suggests, hardlinks may be the right way to save on diskspace here. The segregated RHN channels and branding would probably not break anything once you'd persuaded the packages to install, but try to make a change and there's a huge undefined mess waiting to happen :) Cheers, Phil From tdiehl at rogueind.com Wed Sep 29 01:42:39 2004 From: tdiehl at rogueind.com (Tom Diehl) Date: Tue, 28 Sep 2004 21:42:39 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Keeping 1 RHEL directory tree In-Reply-To: <200409281753.i8SHrO218853@spider01.istructure.com> References: <200409281753.i8SHrO218853@spider01.istructure.com> Message-ID: On Tue, 28 Sep 2004, Marc Wiatrowski wrote: > Since a lot of the rpms between the 3 RH Enterprise version appear > to be the same, is it possible to have one Enterprise Kickstart tree > with all the rpms from these three version and then specify in your > ks.cfg via package list, or some other way, which Enterprise version > to install? Doing so will break things. IIRC, there are less than 20 packages that are different across all of the different versions of RHEL3. The problem arises if you want to have the various systems updated with up2date then they must have the correct version of the redhat-release rpm installed. The easiest way to maintain them is to make a tree for each version then run the hardlink program across the trees. This saves ~3 Gig here. That way you can just point the your ks-cfg at the proper tree and get the correct set of rpms. One other thing to keep in mind is that the first CD of each version contains the packages that are different. CD's 2-4 are the same. Even the md5sums are the same. Do not waste time downloading more than 1 full set.
