Hello,
I've been trying to kickstart a install centos from a USB memory stick. Everything with that is working fine, but I seem to be having a problem with the ks.cfg file.
When I boot the install media from the usb drive, the the boot prompt I type
linux ks=hd:/dev/uba1/ks.cfg
Then I peek at the logs and it even says
* getting kickstart file
* getting kickstart file from harddrive
* Loading ks from device on path dev/uba1/ks.cfg
* getFileFromBlockDevice(, dev/uba1/ks.cfg)
But when the install script starts, it still ask me for install media location. Here's a copy of my ks.cfg too.. Permissions of the file on /dev/uba1 are 744.
Thanks
