Subject: `inst.ks` hides installation source on an ISO?
Good Morning!
Duck Duck Go searches haven't helped me, and this problem feels like it has an
obvious answer if I put the question in front of the right person.
I'm adding a kickstart reference to an ISO. When I do, Anaconda (I think) can't
find the Installation Source. If I drop the "inst.ks" the Installation Source
is autodetected. So, an unmodified entry in isolinux/isolinux.cfg looks like
this:
```
label linux
menu label ^Install CentOS Linux 8
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=CentOS-8-3-2011-x86_64-dvd quiet
```
This will autodetect the Installation Source. If I add a kickstart reference:
```
label linux
menu label ^Install CentOS Linux 8
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img inst.stag2=hd:LABEL=CentOS-8-3-2011-x86_64-dvd
quiet inst.ks=hd:LABEL=CentOS-8-3-2011-x86_64-dvd
```
No Installation Source is found, but any `repo` entries in the kickstart file
will be listed as "Additional Repositories." This is true for any variety of
inst.ks reference. ("inst.ks=hd:/dev/sdb", "inst.ks=hd:/dev/sdb:/ks.cfg", etc.)
Am I not seeing a kickstart entry that specifies the Installation Source? Do I
have to add another `append` argument that specifies the Installation Source?
What am I missing?
Thanks!
David
