Passed to QA to reproduce. could you attach the kickstart file you were able to use in 6.2 (but failed with 7) ...? Please reopen this report if you continue to have problems. I am having a similar problem. I am trying to run a kickstart installation entirely off a CD with no floppy involved. Do do this I burnt a new CD with ks.cfg in the top level directory of the CD, I modified the syslinux.cfg file to the following: default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img I've updated /images/boot.img with this version of syslinux.cfg. When I do an install a get the "Choose a Language" screen, thus kickstart is not working. Interestingly if I continue with the manual install when I get to the "Installation Method" screen I select "Local CDROM". When doing this I get an "Error" screen which reads like "I could not find a Red Hat Linux CDROM in any of your CDROM drives. Please insert the Red Hat CD and press "OK" to retry". Clearly there is something amiss here, because there is a Red Hat CD in one of my CDROM drive, except some minor changes. After pressing retry many times I notice the following messages on the log screen (ALT-F3): * trying to mount device hdc * trying to mount device hdc etc... It looks from this that ananconda is unable to mount my CD. I'm guessing that this is because it is already mounted. Furthermore, I'm thinking that kickstart is not working because it can't mount my CDROM drive. I have tested the ks.cfg on a floppy when booting from a floppy and its works. Stephen H. |
