In order to access the packages in the virtualization repo, you need to specify a key that gives you access to it. I notice you're doing "key --skip", so that's what the problem is.

I notice you're doing "key --skip", so > that's what the problem is. The key option is in the auto-genearted ks file. But when I changed it into text mode and executed the installation, the issue didn't disappear. In addition, I added the option "key 2515dd4e215225dd" into rhel5_xen.ks directly and executed the installation, the issue appeard as before. Created attachment 519543 [details]
Screenshots and installation logs
In your attachment, I see:
21:00:07 INFO : skipping install key
and:
21:00:08 INFO : package paths is {'base': ['file:///mnt/source/./Server']}
So, these logs do not coincide with an installation that used a key. Could you please attach logs from that run, so I can see what (if anything) is going wrong with the processing of that kickstart command?

Logs for using key to install RHEL 5.7

I have attached the logs for using key to install RHEL 5.7. The ks file I1jw5lEgIG is used in the installation process. the ks file anaconda-ks.cfg is generated by anaconda when the installation completed. Okay, I see what's going on now. So, your kickstart file is asking for a group named Virtualization and your logs say there's no such group. Looking at the comps, I can tell that is correct - there is no Virtualization group. In the anaconda screen we call "task selection", it offers a checkbox for virt however that does not map to a single group. If you check it, you get the xen group installed. In summary, what you probably want to do is remove "@virtualization" from your kickstart file and replace it with either "@xen" or "@kvm", depending on which you want. |
