All works below as you describe - if you boot the client/build system from the local cdrom/PXE. The problem that I have regularly encountered since 2.1 involves using the bootnet.img/boot.img to create a boot floopy, and modifying syslinux.cfg for complete hands=off. I had successfully used this method for both 1.5, Tawie, and 2.0. Since then, I always have the problem as described below.
For further clarification, the cdrom message splash for interactive install will appear if the ks.cfg file isn't found on the local floppy. That's not what is happeneing. The system boots from floppy, loads the kernel, starts the ks.cfg and goes interactive at the keyboard directive. No errors reported on any screen that I can see which leads me to believe that the problem lies within the floppy image itself. This problem occurs with the anaconda generated ks.cfg - without my edits.

If your ks.cfg (exactly that file name) is on the first floppy drive, then start the install at the boot prompt with: boot: linux ks=floppy I place kickstart configs on a web server and use something similar to: boot: linux ks=http://1.2.3.4/trustix/cfg/2.2.cfg Floppy, PXE, nfs, cdrom - all just different ways of bootstrapping the installer - pointing anaconda to your kickstart configuration after the kernel/initrd are loaded all works the same ;) Kind Regards, Michael Shuler _______________________________________________ tsl-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.trustix.org/mailman/listinfo/tsl-discuss
