Hey list,
I recently started working with kickstart. It is awesome! I really had
no idea how easy it would be to use.
I do have one strange issue, that's really not that important, but that
I'd like to figure out. I like to watch all the kernel boot messages go
by in text mode by default, and when I've set up a box in the past, I've
modified grub's menu.lst file to remove all the GUI components of the
boot. But when I try this from a kickstart-installed box, either from a
%post section or manually, I still get (mostly) the GUI boot process.
Here's my relevant menu.lst exerpts: first, the one working the way I
like:
#boot=/dev/hda
default=0
timeout=5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-194.11.4.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-194.11.4.el5.img
Then, the one not behaving the way I expect:
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
#hiddenmenu
title CentOS (2.6.18-53.el5)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-53.el5 ro root=LABEL=/
initrd /initrd-2.6.18-53.el5.img
I'm not sure why they're behaving differently; AFAICT the two are the
same modulo the kernel version. Any suggestions for what I can look at
next?
