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
The '--dir=' argument is the path to the distro directory, not the path to the kickstart file - i.e. it should be:
nfs --server=10.112.16.33 --dir=/nfs/os
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)http://10.112.0.0/8%28ro,sync%29
- 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 don't know if the contents of your /etc/exports file above is a typo - but it should be "/nfs/os" not "/nsf/os"
If your kickstart file is under /nfs/os/ on the same server, then the boot command line syntax should be:
ks=nfs:10.112.16.33:/nfs/os/ks.cfg
