[Spacewalk-list] Kickstart Difficulties - Networking

[Daniel Robb]

Andy,

I didn’t think this was possible.  From looking at the ks.cfg options documentations, it seems to be that if you do not supply the ip address in the ks.cfg file the installer assumes that the the installation should be done over eth0 via DHCP.
You could try just supplying the ip address on the boot line (linux ip=nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn).

Hi Team,

I can't seem to put together the correct magic to get kickstarting
systems to setup the correct network configuration during install.

I essentially want the installer to ask simply for the IP address.  I
want the remaining static options to be pre-filled in the default
kickstart (aka: netmask, gateway, dns...).  So, went anaconda prompts
for the IP address, and I provide it, it configures the host to use
static networking with that address and does a DNS lookup to determine
the hostname for the IP I just provided and sets that up as well.

Is this type of configuration possible?

Thanks,

Andy Speagle





This been covered a fair amount on kickstat-list (kickstart-list at redhat.com).

Try leaving off the ip information from the "network" line.   This should fill in everything else and still allow you to re-enter.
