Can you attach the kickstart file that you used?

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 Guan Lee
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 %packages @ Base
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 Guan Lee
Ok. I'm glad things are working now. Thanks for your report.
