Hello list,
I try to do an automated network installation of centos 5.2, following the redat documentation at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/sysadmin-guide/p... However, when installing I get promptet for various things, like which network interface I would like to use for installation, or the location of the install medium. But thats not what I wanted, I want to start the boot process, and then leave the box untill it is installed.
What I did: First a manual install form DVD. I then used the kickstart file /root/anaconda-ks.cfg for a network installation. I changed the install line from cdrom to url:
install url --url http://9.0.0.1/all/repository/CentOS5.2
This url contains the whole DVD (and can be viewed in a webbrowser). Then I generated the following entry in my pxe control file (default):
LABEL centos5.2_cluto_cnode MENU LABEL CentOS 5.2 cluto ^node kernel distro/centos5.2/vmlinuz append initrd=distro/centos5.2/initrd.img ramdisk_size=7494 ks=http://9.0.0.1/all/profiles/cluto_centos5.2/cnode/ks.cfg
This is part of a boot menue, therefor the MENU entry. The url of the kickstart file is also valid, I can wget it.
Now since I get asked all these questions at boot time, I suspect that the kickstart file is not there to answer these questions.
I would be greatful for any suggestions on how to further debug or solve this.
Isaac
