RHEL5.2, kickstart, USB, "OPCODE" error after reboot

[Tim Mooney]

In regard to: RHEL5.2, kickstart, USB, "OPCODE" error after reboot,...:

> Build a HP 385 server, using a RHEL5.2 DVD cut from a downloaded ISO,
> and the kickstart file located on a USB stick. After the initial build,
> the server reboots, the DVD and USB stick are manually removed and right
> where the GRUB screen should be displayed, I get a screen that looks
> like a kernel panic screen, though starts with the line "Illegal OPCODE"
> and then a bunch of hex output.
>
> If I build the server without the USB stick but using the same kickstart
> file (copied to the DVD) it works fine.

Would loading the kickstart file via http work for you?  Just put it on
some web server and use

 	linux ks=http://your.host/your/url/ks.cfg
