Dear Friends,
I have centos 6.2 64 bit os in my dell server. When I try to install centos or scientific linux using NFS so it is not working and getting me error = "unable to download kickstart file". My kickstart file configuration is :
#platform=x86, AMD64, or Intel EM64T #version=DEVEL # Firewall configuration firewall --disabled # Install OS instead of upgrade install # Use NFS installation media nfs --server=10.112.16.33 --dir=/nfs/os/ks.cfg # Root password rootpw --iscrypted $1$3T0pmlXY$G/jNJD/2eWwNJhEraJIrl0 # System authorization information auth --useshadow --passalgo=sha512 # Use graphical install graphical # Run the Setup Agent on first boot firstboot --enable # System keyboard keyboard us # System language lang en_US # SELinux configuration selinux --disabled # Installation logging level logging --level=info # Reboot after installation reboot # System timezone timezone Asia/Kolkata # Network information network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --onboot=on # System bootloader configuration bootloader --location=mbr # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all # Disk partitioning information part /boot --fstype="ext4" --size=200 part swap --fstype="swap" --size=4096 part / --fstype="ext4" --grow --size=1
network installation using NFS kickstart following setps i am using
- system-config-kickstart - system-config-nfs - /etc/init.d/nfs restart - mkdir -p /nfs/os/ - mkdir /mnt/iso/ - mount -t iso9660 /root/Desktop/Centos-64-DVD.iso /mnt/iso/ -o loop - cp -Rp /mnt/iso/* /nfs/os/ - vim /etc/exports/ - /nsf/os/ 10.112.0.0/8(ro,sync) - exportfs -a - exportfs -v - /etc/init.d/nfs restart . - When I boot my pc using centos and in a boot option I put " ks=nfs:serverIP/nfs/ks/ks.cfg"
So it is giving my error could not find kernel image ks=nfs:serverIP/nfs/ks/ks.cfg
When I put ks.cfg file in /nfs/os/ks.cfg Then it is giving me error " Unable to download kickstart file"
I have check all configuration . Even I search on google but not getting any good idea or solution.
Please help me .
