Can you attach the kickstart file that you used?

kickstart configuration file

Comment 4 Brent Fox 2001-10-29 13:29:15 UTC

I see one problem with the kickstart file.  The "device" line, which reads:
device ethernet eepro100
should be:
device eth eepro100

Have a look at:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/s1-kickstart2-options.html
for all the valid kickstart options.

Does this solve the problem?

Hi there,

>Does this solve the problem?
No, I have been using this for rh6.2 & 7.1 and they are ok.  Tried with "eth"
but the same problem exist.

BTW, I have another option which work for me in rh7.1 but not in rh7.2

"part / --size 2048 --onprimary 1" work in rh7.1 but "--onprimary" is not
accepted by rh7.2 any more.  I have to change it to something like

part /boot --size 50 --asprimary

Thanks

Ok, I did a kickstart install with your kickstart file just fine.  The only
modifications I had to make were the nfs line (I had to point it to our NFS
server) and I had to change the sizes for the partitions to be smaller so it
would fit on my disk.  I don't know why you are seeing the traceback that you
saw.  I can't reproduce it.

Here's the file I used:

lang en_US
network --bootproto dhcp
nfs --server porkchop.test.redhat.com --dir /mnt/test/enigma-i386/i386/
keyboard us
mouse --emulthree genericps/2 --device ttyS1
rootpw --iscrypted $1$eY7B2IxS$wZ73ckUg7OtR6NWKBIko30
auth --useshadow --enablemd5
install 
device ethernet eepro100
timezone --utc GMT
skipx

bootloader --useLilo
zerombr yes
clearpart --all

part /boot --size 50 --asprimary
part / --size 1024 --asprimary
part /usr --size 1024 --asprimary
part swap --size 1024
part /var --size 1024 --grow

Hi there,

I found the problem.   I missed a new required option which was introduce in
rh7.2 

langsupport --default en_US en_US

The kickstart installation go well now.  Thanks!  Please close the case
