FC3 kickstart -> does not recognize cd

[tamas.1.simon at nokia.com]

Hi,

I had some kind of this problem, the difference is I had it at RHEL4.

There are many nice pages on the web to explain how kickstart works,
should be configure and so on.. but it didn't solve my issue.

What I have in my image:
	/ -> .discinfo of the original cd and my ks.cfg
	/isolinux -> original files from the cd with the modified
isolinux.cfg
	/RedHat
		/base -> original files but hdlist(2) regenerated and
comps.xml little bit modified but I think it is not needed
		/RPMS -> modified rpm list
	/SRMPS -> empty

So I'm booting from iso file as a virtual cd-rom with HP's ilo..
And this time in the isolinux.cfg I had to add 'hd:scd0' instead of
cdrom:

	label iso
	  kernel vmlinuz
	  append ks=hd:scd0:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=8192

Check with Alt+F3 how it would like to reach your cdrom.
I hope this helps.

What you wrote seems to be ok for me.

Br,
Tamas

Subject: FC3 kickstart -> does not recognize cd

Im trying to create a FC3 kickstart DVD in FC6, yet, when I attempt to
boot the CD, anaconda loads and says 'The Fedora Core CD was not found
in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Fedora Core CD and press
OK to retry.' I cant figure out what is going wrong... When I look in
the console i get a few errors... 

<3>FAT: Bogus number of reserved sectors
<6>VFS: Cant find a valid FAT filesystem on dev hdc
<4>VFS: Cant find ext2 filesystem on dev hdc.
<4>Unable to load NLS charset utf8

I am attempting to boot this on a virtual machine. The only thing I can
think is, since im using FC6, I have to use 'createrepo' instead of
'genhdlist'... Will that create this error?  This is exactly how i
create the cd image.

sudo cp nepenthes-ks.cfg FC3/isolinux/

cd FC3
sudo createrepo -g Fedora/base/comps.xml `pwd` cd ..
sudo mkisofs -o nepenthes-ossim.iso -V 'FC/3 i386' -b
isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size
4 -boot-info-table -r -R -T -J -joliet-long -l FC3


Can anyone see anything that I could be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
