From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031030 Description of problem: Hi! While trying to process the kickstart the server to be installed fails to get his kickstart config. See attached screen shot. Best regards, cos Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhn-base-2.9.99-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Schedule a kickstart 2. Reboot for kickstart installation Actual Results: Failed to retrieve ks.cfg. Expected Results: Successfull retrieval of a ks.cfg. Additional info:
Created attachment 96666 [details] Screenshot of the kickstart logging Looks like an broken config. The last url seems to miss the hostname (beta.rhn.mediaways.net).
Created attachment 96681 [details] Another try to kickstart via fixed IP A try to kickstart with a fixed ip failed also. (see picture)
Are all of these attempts using fixed IP address? Using eth0 or eth1?
Best guess is we've closed this in the latest build.
I think this bug has not been fixed. I tried to initiate kickstart from rhns-3.1rc1. The package auto-kickstart-ks-redhat-advanced-server-i386-qu2-1.2-3 was installed on my target system as it supposed to be. Then the file /boot/rhn-kickstart/ks-redhat-advanced-server-i386-qu2/initrd.img.merged was created and grub was configured to use it. The ks.cfg should be in this file but it was missing and I got an error screen as in the previousely attached screenshot for fixed IP (attachment id=96681).
Over to chip to see if he can figure out why NRN's auto-kickstart is pointing to a file instead of to a URL. This seems to be a different bug from Christian's, however. Christian's bug should be fixed in RC1 and later.
