I tried doing a linux ks=ks.cfg at the boot command line and I got a message that states: Error opening kickstart file (null): Bad address If I hit ALT+F3, I see the following (last 2 lines): *load module set done *getting kickstart file I have tried the following: linux ks=ks.cfg linux ks=/ks.cfg linux ks=/root/ks.cfg linux ks=/tmp/ks.cfg linux ks=/sys/ks.cfg linux ks=/cdrom/ks.cfg and I get the same error message. So, what is the proper syntax if my ks.cfg file lives in the root of my boot cd? thanks, cj -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of John Summerfied Sent: Thursday, March 02, 2006 3:58 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: want to build automated install cds Jasper, Chris wrote: > 8. boot my target computer from that boot cd > > The target computer boots off the cd but does not seem to read the > ks.cfg file as it asks me all the regular install questions instead of > getting the answers from the ks.cfg file. > > Is this the correct procedure? How are you telling Anaconda where to find the kickstart file? You need to specify it on the boot commandline, and I don't see that you updated the isolinux configuration. You can test what to enter with your existing CD: linux ks=ks.cfg and the variations thereon. The file can be in the initrd file, on the CD outside the initrd (inside your virtual floppy or outside, I think), on a floppy, hard disk (including, presumably, USB), and then there are network options. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Z1aaaaaaa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ do not reply off-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
