try the following out and let me know how relieable it is :) Let's assume you have your USB-stick on "/dev/sdb" and you have "syslinux" >= 3.0 installed on your Linux box, then: (1) by using "fdisk /dev/sdb" make sure you create a bootable FAT partition "/dev/sdb1" (2) create new fat filesystem on the USB stick by using "mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1" (3) setup the bootloader by executing "syslinux /dev/sdb1" (4) create your buildiso "cobbler buildiso --systems='host.domain.net'" (5) step 4 should have created beside the "generated.iso" file also a "buildiso" directory; copy the created files from "buildiso/isolinux/*" to "/dev/sdb1" (mount it) (6) rename the "isolinux.cfg" on "/dev/sdb1" to "syslinux.cfg" (7) umount "/dev/sdb1" and try to boot with the USB-stick, just don't forget to disconnect it on time if you are using "clearpart" in your kickstart file. > If so, I could use it. Hope that helps, best regards, Alex _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
