Have you tried "--bootproto static" (with lowercase letters)? Works for me. Have you tried "--bootproto static" (with lowercase letters)? Works for me. We are in the process of putting together a fix for this problem. We should be releasing a fix the week of October 18th. *** Bug 5952 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I setup a boot floppy with a ks.cfg on it to test kickstart installs. I typed "linux ks=floppy" when I booted the floppy, and it booted the system, but it tried to get it's IP address from DHCP instead of using what was specified in the ks.cfg file. This works with RH 6.0. Mike Iglesias University of California, Irvine iglesias *** Bug 6340 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Added a %pre scripting section - Found the following bugs : When assigning a static ip it still wants to grab a dhcp address. The documentation needs to be updated within the manual, there is no documentation on how to extend the kickstart with python as said in the new features section. This issue is resolved in the latest installer available in beta. |
