Anaconda hangs just after downloading the Kickstart file, during a CentOS 5
install from xCAT 2.7.4 on CentOS 6 MN. (CentOS 6 installs work on the same
node.)
SYSLOG displays the following message:
<from Syslog <alt>F3 :>
. . .
INFO : setting up kickstart
INFO : setting language to en_US.UTF-8
WARNING : requested keymap us is not valid, asking
Here are the kernel parameters the kernel was reporting when the "quiet" option
was dropped:
Kernel command line: initrd=xcat/centos5.8/x86_64/initrd.img
repo=http://149.77.53.252/install/centos5.8/x86_64/
ks=http://149.77.53.252/install/autoinst/develkv8 ksdevice=eth0 cmdline
console=tty0 console=ttyS1,115200n8r BOOT_IMAGE=xcat/centos5.8/x86_64/vmlinuz
BOOTIF=01-00-25-90-49-34-e8
If the "cmdline" kernel arg is replaced with "text", then anaconda prompts for
the installation media, suggesting a problem with our Kickstart file, and
perhaps the "%pre" code pulled in from "pre.rh".
Could this have something to do with the pre.rh code? Is pre.rh backwards
compatible with CentOS 5?
Can a CentOS 6 MN be used to do CentOS 5 & 6 installs?
Thanks,
Goran
