Hi All:
Using the following line, I am trying to install Scientific Linux (a
RHEL derivative like CentOS), but the installer never sees my kickstart
file :
virt-install -n test-dev1 --ram=1024 --vcpus=2
--file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/root \
--file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/swap \
--file=/dev/zvol/dsk/zfs_pool/xen/lss-kickstart1/nfs \
--accelerate --paravirt --nographics
--location=http://135.1.29.1/nfs/scientific/52/x86_64/ \
--autocf
nfs:135.1.37.162:/zfs_pool/nfs/xen_guest_sl52_x86_64_ks/kickstart/ks.cfg.3
-d
Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?
Some notes:
* although xVM doesn't understand SL, it does know about CentOS, so
creating a symbolic link from CentOS to SL allows xen to find the
init.rd and vmliuz files correctly)
* the linux installer runs correctly, it just doesn't find/run the
kickstart file
* I did run this with the debug flag (-d), and the output was:
Starting install...
