lang option of kickstart not parsed
Last modified: 2015-01-07 18:40:39 EST
I have the following start to my kickstart file: lang en_US network --bootproto dhcp nfs --server spacebird.uskonet.com --dir /systems/redhat/6.1/i386 keyboard us <snip> When I boot, the nfs server is mounted, and then I get asked to choose my language, which should be obtained from the kickstart file. I have tried: 'lang en' as well as 'lang en_US' I have also tried moving the lang specifier to after the network lines, to no effect. Regards Chris Picton

My guess is that you are having problems before you even get to the language screen. If you flip over to VC2 when the lang config screen comes up, you will probably find a message telling you that no method was found for kickstart. This means that the system did not even attempt to load your ks.cfg file. Where are you retrieving the ks.cfg file from?
This means you aren't having your kickstart file detected properly. Look at VC3 to figure out why not.
i have a similar problem. it IS a bug. kickstart is seriously broken, and it shouldn't be that hard my problem is that it works fine if i specify the network --static blah blah blah for one particular IP, but if i use a different IP, it breaks, and asks for my language, what type of install (NFS), and a coupple other questions.. THEN, it does the kickstart, and is hunky dory.
