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
