Re: [Users] kickstarting a vm via http
FWIW and in case someone is interested, you can use the following kernel parameters to kickstart from network (without pxe - i'd prefer that, but it's not always an option) : ks=http://X.X.X.X/ks/ks.cfg ksdevice=eth0 ip=X.X.X.X netmask=255.255.255.0 it'll require you however to have the kernel initrd.img files - you can get those from the distro cd / iso (even jus the network install) and put them somewhere, doesnt matter - just reference those files in the kernel path and initrd path and it'll work .. e.g. kernel path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz ] initrd path [ /var/www/html/repo/centos/images/pxeboot/initrd.img ] alex On 10/16/2012 09:59 PM, Alex Leonhardt wrote: ok, local path seems to do the trick :) ta!
