Hi,
When I try to install SL5 x86_64 (or i386) using kickstart with
installation from NFS server.
I am getting the following error message:
The Scientific Linux Installation tree in that directory does not
seem to match your boot media.
I booted from a SL5 CD1 or DVD
linux ks=nfs:myNFSserver:/mydir/SL5/x86_64
Then you need to boot off of the boot.iso that is in
/mydir/SL5/x86_64/images/boot.iso and not the cd1 or dvd.
The images that are on the DVD are not the same as the images that are in
our ftp tree.
I had used the same procedure on many systems for SL4.x without any
problem. I mirrored the SL5 x86_64 and i386 directory using Rsync
Yes. The method for making the dvd and cd images in SL 5 has changed.
from ANL.
Does anyone know what I need to do differently to do NFS kickstart
installation for SL5?
no
