hello,

I have a situation where I am using PXE and kickstart to
install my machines.

My set up is as follows:

i have a cobbler server which is also an mrepo mirror doing the
booting.

my mrepo tree has both disc1 and disc2 loop mounted, and RPMS.os
symlinks both the discs contens to generate the unified os tree. This all
works fine.

My issue is with the kickstart, if i use the disc1 as the url (like below)
when it tries to
install a package that is on disc2, it still looks for it in the disc1
location.

Below is a snippet of my kickstart file (which works great if i do not
select any packages
that reside on the disc2 of the centos install (All discs have been verified
as working
via sha an md5 checksums).

url --url=http://mrepo/mrepo/centos6-x86_64/disc1
repo --name=os --baseurl=http://mrepo/mrepo/centos6-x86_64/RPMS.os

selinux --permissive
install
lang en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
skipx
rootpw
firewall --disabled
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5

%packages
redhat-lsb
rubygems
puppet
%end


Thanks.
Nathan
