Re: [Unattended] Unattended and making a new bootdisk
Hi! I'm a little confused, "pxelinux.cfg" is directory, contain one single file "default", for me it's seem like this: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append initrd=initrd, z_opt=ip=172.16.3.73 You have said it is start booting: Load initrd image ... and after goes back to pxe boot menu - what is a pxe boot menu?

Re: [Unattended] Unattended and making a new bootdisk
OK, here's my documention on editing the PXE image - note that where I state "change the files as required", in your case you need to edit ./etc/master - if you look through it, you can see where the path, username and password are hard-coded into the script, and alter as necessary. unpack existing initrd file using: cat initrd | (cpio -i -d -m ; cpio -i -d -m) change the files as required repack the image using (with current working directory as the root of the unpacked image): find . | cpio -o -H newc -O ../initrd However this new image is missing /dev To add it to the image you need devices.txt and mknod-cpio.pl from the unattended CVS (you need to chmod mknod-cpio.pl to make it executable) Edit devices.txt to remove all blank lines and all comment lines ./mknod-cpio.pl < devices.txt > devices.cpio This will create a devices.cpio file, then: cat devices.cpio >> initrd to add the devices to the initrd image.

Re: [Unattended] Unattended and making a new bootdisk
Hi Travis! Main package unattend-4.7.zip includes directory "linuxboot", there is a Makefile and a readme.txt If I only remember, "make download" will download all relevant source packages to apropriate directory, after a simple make will do tftpboot and CD images. For building I'm using a Debian/Linux Etch (stable) release box. I was need to restart making several times, because of lack of other packages, for compilation such as Bison or ncurses5-dev, but I have a usable result. One little surprize, the original linux boot disk (build by authors) includes drivers for many kernels, as a result their image at least twice larger - but my working. Be careful, full build environment need about 1.3 Gbyte harddisk space. Also some where I downloaded an unattended-4.8.zip package (I could not find it again - sorry) - but I think 4.7 package will does the job.

Re: [Unattended] Unattended and making a new bootdisk
I worked out how to do this a while ago and documented the process, here are my notes, hope they help: Note that normal methods for editing the iso DO NOT WORK as the disk fails to boot with a checksum error - the iso has to be re-created with the checksum recalculated. extract linuxboot.iso from the unattended install copy to a linux machine mount the iso using: mount -o loop linuxboot.iso /mnt/linuxboot (note that you will have to create /mnt/linuxboot first, and may need su for both operations, depending on the flavour of linux used) copy the contents of the mounted iso to somewhere else, so you can work on it, change to that directory, and then into the isolinux directory. all the files will be read-only (because copied off an ISO) so: chmod -R +w ./ then you need to edit isolinux.cfg to add in custom parameters. for example: # isolinux/pxelinux configuration file default unattended label unattended kernel bzImage # Add options (z_user=..., z_path=..., etc.) to this line. append initrd=initrd z_path=//your/share/path z_user=username z_pass=password (note the added z_path, z_user and z_pass parameters) change up one directory cd .. then rebuild the iso: mkisofs -V "linuxboot" -o linuxboot.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table .

Hey guys, We have quite a large kickstart environment with over 300 images. I was at the Wiki site for modifying the bootdisk http://ubertechnique.com/unattended/ModifyingTheBootDisk but don't actually see anything that I can download to recreate the image. The Samba server that I have created just to test Unattend is named co-labdeploy-01 and I need to modify this in the script(s). We want to try and test this with Windows 2008 and Windows 2003 initially. We are trying at all cost to avoid using the new version of Microsoft(s) WDS BDD2007 Travis - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/___ unattended-info mailing list unattended-info@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
