Dear all, I have been struggling with my first PXEboot today, using a kickstart with packages served over http on the local network. The details: - Anaconda is using 100% CPU - CentOS 5.5 i386 downloaded yesterday - .iso md5sums checked out good - 0 network errors showing (ifconfig) - console 1 displays: "Installing httpd-..." Done [508/782]" - It appears to be trying to install samba for the last hour: the last 2 lines of the Apache access_log on the package server: "GET /centos/5.5/os/i386/disc2//CentOS/ httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.i386.rpm HTTP/1.1" 200 1277591 "GET /centos/5.5/os/i386/disc2//CentOS/ samba-3.0.33-3.28.el5.i386.rpm HTTP/1.1" 200 17016117 - The last line of /tmp/anaconda.log shows: DEBUG : Adding Package opensp-1.5.2-4.i386 in mode u - The last line of /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log.syslog shows: useradd[2304]: new user: name=apache, ... - I have searched for similar issues at bugs.centos.org without success - The system is still alive, console 2 is responsive so I can (hopefully) debug this if someone will point me in the right direction - kickstart file: http://pastebin.com/mQxx42wf Help! -- Charles Polisher
