Hello,
I am trying to build a PXE boot image for CentOS 7.
livemedia-creator --make-pxe-live --ks=ks --no-virt
It runs the entire process and then it says:
losetup: /dev/: detach failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device 2019-12-26 11:49:47,293: Disk Image install successful 2019-12-26 11:49:47,293: working dir is /var/tmp/tmpKwqC77 mount: /dev/loop0 is write-protected, mounting read-only mount: unknown filesystem type '(null)' 2019-12-26 11:49:52,301: Command '['mount', '-o', 'loop', '/var/tmp/diskJVpsJd.img', '/var/tmp/lorax.imgutils.OtV8Yh']' returned non-zero exit status 32
I then tried it on CentOS 8 and had the same problem until I installed the dracut-live package but that package doesn't exist on CentOS 7.
I will point out that it seems to work fine with make-iso, just not make-pxe-live. So there is probably a package it needs that I don't know about. Has anyone gotten this to work at all?
Since it is a disk/image issue this is the part of the ks relevant to disks:
# Disk partitioning information reqpart part / --fstype="ext4" --size=4000 part swap --size=1000 zerombr clearpart --all bootloader --location=mbr
Below is my packages part of my kickstart:
%packages # Packages needed by anaconda, but not directly required. # Includes all of the grub2 and shim packages needed, except # for the grub2-efi-*-cdboot package @anaconda-tools --optional @core anaconda isomd5sum kernel memtest86+ syslinux -dracut-config-rescue dell-system-update # This package is needed to boot the iso on UEFI grub2-efi-*-cdboot grub2-efi-ia32 %end
Thanks, -Drew
