<pre wrap="">Hi, I am trying to install a box by using your trick (nfs mount + %include)
Here is my problem : Anaconda says that he can't find my files on /mnt/ks
But I think my export should be good because I can mount it on another
machine. In addition, during the end of anaconda he tells me that he has
unmounted /mnt/ks and I can see request mount in my /var/log/messages
server.
You can see my kickstart file :
install
lang en_US.UTF-8
langsupport --default en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 fr_FR.UTF-8
keyboard fr
mouse genericwheelps/2 --device psaux
skipx
network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 85.5.11.144 --netmask
255.255.255.0
network --device eth1 --bootproto dhcp
nfs --server my.machine.int --dir /var/kickstart/centos/4.1/i386/os
firewall --disabled
timezone --utc Europe/Paris
bootloader --location=mbr
zerombr yes
reboot
%include /mnt/ks/partition
%include /mnt/ks/package
%pre
mkdir /mnt/ks
mount my.machine.int:/var/kickstarttest /mnt/ks
</pre>

That looks pretty much like what I have working. When you're mounting
my.machine.int, are you using an IP address or is that the hostname?
I'd try using the IP in case you don't have name services available.
You can keep an eye on what KickStart is doing by by switching virtual
consoles as usual:
Alt-F1 - installation dialog
Alt-F2 - shell prompt
Alt-F3 - install log (messages from install program)
Alt-F4 - system log (messages from kernel, etc.)
Alt-F5 - other messages
Alt-F3 is especially useful when dealing with errors in your Kickstart
configuration files.
Here's the config I currently have....
# Kickstart to build default CentOS system
#
# $Id: centos4-install-ks.cfg,v 1.5 2006/03/21 14:57:18 root Exp $
#
# Setup kickstart defaults (keyboard, NFS server etc.)
# %include /mnt/ks/kickstart/include/kickstart.cfg
# standard Kickstart defaults for keyboard, languange, NFS server etc. etc.
nfs --server=192.168.24.218 --dir=/opt/centos/4/os/i386
lang en_US.UTF-8
langsupport --default=en_GB.UTF-8 en_GB.UTF-8

OK thanx I will try to debug my config, I didn't think about switching
virtual console.<br>
