From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [de] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22smp i686) When using kickstart to install a machine whre the installation tree is located on a partition (ext2) I got the error message on VC3: no install method specified for kickstart the kickstart file contains the following line harddrive --partition hdg1 --dir /RedHat/7.1 Remark: When using the same kickstartfile with installation method nfs from a different nfs-server there are no problem Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. mount a partition on /mnt/Redhat/7.1 2. copy both installation CDs to this directory 3. try a kickstart install with installation method "harddrive" Actual Results: error message: no install method specified for kickstart Expected Results: installation should take the partition as install tree
Can you attach your kickstart file? That way, I can do a test with your exact file.
Created attachment 16385 [details] kickstart file that produces the error
Your kickstart file (modified for my partitions, of course) worked for me just fine. Here's the one I used: lang de_DE network --bootproto dhcp harddrive --dir /i386 --partition hda5 #harddrive --partition hda5 --dir /i386 keyboard "de-latin1-nodeadkeys" zerombr yes part / --onpart hda1 part swap --onpart hda6 part /seawolf --onpart hda5 --noformat install reboot mouse genericps/2 --emulthree timezone Europe/Berlin xconfig auth --useshadow --enablemd5 rootpw dummypw lilo --location mbr %packages %post
