Hi, I'm trying to set up kickstart (Redhat 7.0) to run off of a floppy and get the packages via NFS or HTTP. My problems are: 1. A kernel panic when installing with NFS or URL (HTTP). The machines that are athlons and similar things. They all have the same network cards: Intel Ether Express 10/100. They all have run of the mill IDE controllers. And kickstart successfully identifies both the hard drive and the CDROM drive. So what's my problem? A kernel panic: Partition check: hda: hda1 hda2 < hda4 .... hda10 > VFS: cannot open root device 08:41 kernel panic: unable to mount root fs on 08:41 Note that the install with the RPMS on the CD works fine. However, my network is not detected (however an ifup eth0 just works) any ideas??? 2. No DHCP requests ever hit my DHCP server. I've tried, for giggles, a kickstart configuration that goes to the network. I can't get the thing to ever hit the network. Again, any ideas? Thanks, Soren Here's the ks.cfg file. ### Language Specification lang en_US ### Network Configuration network --bootproto dhcp ### Source File Location #cdrom url --url http://63.93.29.31/kickstart/test #nfs --server 63.93.29.31 --dir /mnt/cdrom ### Ethernet Device Configuration #device ### Keyboard Configuration keyboard us ### Partitioning Information ### Whether to clear out the Master Boot Record (yes/no) ### Which partitions to format (--linux/--all) ### --linux - only format existing linux partitions ### --all - format all existing partitions ### Which partitions to set up on new system as well ### as size of those partitions zerombr yes clearpart --all #part /boot --size 16 part swap --size 1024 #part / --size 1000 --grow --maxsize 1400 part / --size 128 part /tmp --size 256 part /var --size 1024 part /usr --size 2048 part /TEST --size 2048 part /scratch --grow ### Mouse Configuration mouse microsoft ### Time Zone Configuration ### Will get set to 'US/Eastern' if ZONE is missing ### from /etc/sysconfig/clock or if file is missing entirely #timezone --utc US/Eastern timezone --utc America/Chicago ### X Configuration ### Will set up system for minimal resolution and color depth; ### may wish to run Xconfigurator manually after system installation #xconfig --server "SVGA" --monitor "viewsonic g773" ### Root Password Designation rootpw apassword ### Authorization Configuration auth --useshadow ### Lilo Configuration lilo --location mbr ### Package Designation ### The package names, as well as the groups they are a part of can be ### found in the /RedHat/base/comps file; individual packages can be ### specified by entering their names one per line; ### groups (e.g. 'X Window System') can be specified ### by appending a "@" in front of the group name; ### e.g. '@ X Window System' %packages filesystem [snip] Mesa-devel ### Commands To Be Run Post-Installation %post echo thanks _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
