Hi Tom,
now it can start but soon anaconda breaks reporting the following
Exception:
"An error occurrder unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not
accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then clik OK to retry"
Shell on tty2 is on /
from /tmp/anaconda.log file I see this:
...
...
* moving (1) to step readcomps
* exception in unmountCD: (16,'Device or resouce busy')
I did the following steps:
- modified isolinux.cfg file to add the kernel parameter I need
- modified some .msg files to customize this new CD
- modified the kickstart files to add the kernel parameter to boot
loader (as I did yesterday)
- recreate the ISO
Any ideas? I really don't known how to investigate on it...
thanks
/Luca

You have to modify the syslinux files on the boot CD and rebuild the CD.
Change the append= lines and add the option you need.
Thanks,

Subject: kernel parameters
Hi all,
I'm upgrading a bootable CD which uses kickstart to automatically
install REHL4 Upgrade3 and a subset of programs.
The upgrade is needed by a new hardware that requests a special kernel
parameter to boot the system (in particular the kernel parameter is
'pci=nommconf' and it should be needed to use the Smart Array
Controller)
I've been able to add this parameter in kickstart config file and now
the boot is working fine (I'm using GRUB as bootloader), but I must type
the kernel parameter by hand at installation prompt...
Is there a way to configure kickstart (or something else) in order to
autamatically pass this kernel parameter to installation process too?
Thanks
Regards
/Luca
