OK So I tried your suggestion no joy. Installed i manually. Took the
kickstart file from this install, and tried to use this as the install
kickstart. It failed. I deleted all the partitions and tried again no
joy, the default ks is as follows:-
#version=DEVEL
# Use network installation
url --url="http://192.168.0.156/CentOS7-x86_64/disc1/"
# Use text mode install
text
ignoredisk --only-use=sda,sdb
# Keyboard layouts
keyboard --vckeymap=us --xlayouts='us'
# System language
lang en_US.UTF-8
# Network information
network --bootproto=dhcp --device=enp0s31f6 --ipv6=auto --activate
network --hostname=localhost.localdomain
# Root password
rootpw --iscrypted
# Do not configure the X Window System
skipx
# System timezone
timezone Australia/Sydney
# System bootloader configuration
bootloader --append=" crashkernel=auto" --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda
autopart --type=lvm
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda,sdb
%packages
@core
kexec-tools
%end
%addon com_redhat_kdump --enable --reserve-mb='auto'
%end
Should I need to change anything to this ?
Thanks
