My pxe server is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5. I encountered some problems that needs your help, thanks in advance! 1. Currently I can install RHEV from the pxe server, but after the installation, it can not be accessed because I don't know the password for root, during the installation process, I have no chance to set the password, after I select PXE boot from BIOS, the installation start automatically. How can I set password for automatically install? I know that Kickstart config file can be this for Red Hat Linux, is there way for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor? 2. Before installed the Client, I changed the boot order of the Client to PXE -> Hard Disk in the BIOS, is there any way to automatically change or disable network booting after the RHEV Hypervisor is installed? Or is there some methods can be used on the pxe server side to fail the pxe boot of Client after RHEV is installed? I know that we can just remove the configuration file under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg if we know the installation of OS has started, but I just don't know how to know if the installation of OS has started by some automatic methods. 3. After the installation of RHEV in my client machine, I found that I can not ssh to the client, do you know how to configure it as enabled on the pxe server side? This is the configure file under /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/: TIMEOUT 20 PROMPT 0 LABEL pxeboot KERNEL vmlinuz0 APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=initrd0.img root=/director_appliance-rhevhb-hypervisor-0.94.1.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg check crashkernel=128M at 16M elevator=deadline processor.max_cstate=1 linux storage_init=/dev/sda firstboot storage_vol=50:1000:512:20:1000:40000 BOOTIF=eth0 ip=dhcp hostname=directorapp local_boot standalone ovirt_early=director_appliance vga=791 da_hostnet=1 ONERROR LOCALBOOT 0 I once tried add ks=nfs:9.123.99.177:/rhev/ks/ks.cfg to APPEND line, and enable nfs, in the ks.cfg, I set rootpw, but still did not set the client's password after the installation. Did some one once do this before? Can you share your configuration file? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Do tailf /var/log/messages as root, or do sudo tailf /var/log/messages if you've entered your login to the sudoers file (/etc/sudoers) Also, you might try installing and activating NetworkManager and NetworkManager-gnome Karl > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-install-list mailing list > Redhat-install-list at redhat.com > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-install-list > To Unsubscribe Go To ABOVE URL or send a message to: > redhat-install-list-request at redhat.com > Subject: unsubscribe > --- Karl Pearson Karlp at ourldsfamily.com Owner/Administrator of the sites at http://ourldsfamily.com --- "To mess up your Linux PC, you have to really work at it; to mess up a microsoft PC you just have to work on it." --- Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

This particular card has been a problem in the past on a lot of systems with older kernels. Remember that Linksys (and a lot of other manufacturers) do not give out details on how their cards work. Most of the open software support for the cards has had to be reverse engineered. It's been sorted out a bit more in later kernels (specifically the last few under Fedora 12 and now Fedora 13). RHEL is quite far behind the current kernel releases and you will have issues in support for newer cards. You might see if you can find later firmware files for the card. Upgrading to one of the more current kernels (you'll have to build it yourself) is another option. As to security, whether it's a B, G or N card has nothing to do with it. True, some older B cards may not support the wireless security protocol you're using (I'm guessing WEP/WPK2), the _type_ of network is irrelevant--it only refers to the frequencies used and the bandwidth available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, C2 Hosting ricks at nerd.com - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - You possess a mind not merely twisted, but actually sprained. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From mikejs at mbay.net Mon May 24 14:54:33 2010 From: mikejs at mbay.net (Mike Sacauskis) Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 07:54:33 -0700 Subject: Wireless Network Card Installation Unsecured Message-ID: <20100524.145433.641.3@MJSDELL> ----- Original Message ----- From: Rick Stevens To: redhat-install-list at redhat.com Date: Mon, 24 May 2010 05:22:23 -0700 Subject: Re: Wireless Network Card Installation Unsecured > On 05/23/2010 08:56 PM, Mike Sacauskis wrote: > > Thanks, Not sure what I'm going to do.
