I think you need to add the --cost=100
--baseurl=http://xxx/repo/vmware/5.1/rhel6Server-x86_64/ --cost=100
I'm beginning to think the problem is, my install media is ISO and I have an additional http repo which is not available in this stage...
No, does not help. GUI still says it needs an active network connection. :(
Are you able to establish communication with the web server that is hosting vmware tools
I do not have the same environment as you, therefore my ks.cfg, installation media and the repo is on the same FTP server.
I'm only being asked to configure the network, if I'm not able to establish communication with the FTP server, verify that the appropriate access is on file/s that the server need to connect to.
Yes, I can establish the connection. But at the point when the GUI asks for the network connection the interface does not have the IP address yet. I verify this on another console with 'ifconfig' and 'ip a l'. In the %post section I can do wget and other things, so there does not seem to be the problem. And once I confirm the eth0 interface in gui it gets the ks.cfg network config and install with the configured repo works.
Still I think the repo command cannot be used because I don't have the interface configured on kernel command line to get the ks.cfg. I use the local floppy disk with 'ks=floppy'
