In RHEL/CentOS kickstart land, we use the ksdevice=eth0 (or em1) on the kernel boot line. You should have the same facility in an Ubuntu kickstart. This gets set before the preseed is involved.
For Cobbler, you’ll add the ksdevice= directive in the kernel append line for the specific profile. -- Edmund White [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> 847-530-1605 From: Rodrick Brown <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Saturday, March 14, 2015 at 10:34 AM To: LOPSA Discuss List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [lopsa-discuss] Ubuntu kickstart w/preseed We're looking at ubuntu and I'm having a hardtime getting a fully automated installs working. No matter what I do or think of the installer will prompt me that multiple active NIC's we're found alive or something and ask me to select a NIC. I'm using cobbler to automate the installs I've tried everything imaginable anyone see anything wrong with this preseed file? I've tried with d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto or specifiy the interface directly d-i netcfg/choose_interface select em1 Neither option seems to work everything else works fine and the install is fully automated after I manually select the network interface. d-i debian-installer/locale string en_US.UTF-8 d-i debian-installer/splash boolean false d-i console-setup/ask_detect boolean false d-i console-setup/layoutcode string us d-i console-setup/variantcode string d-i netcfg/choose_interface select auto d-i netcfg/choose_interface select em1 d-i netcfg/get_nameservers string 10.88.4.12 d-i netcfg/get_ipaddress string 10.88.5.80 d-i netcfg/get_netmask string 255.255.255.0 d-i netcfg/get_gateway string 10.88.5.1 d-i netcfg/confirm_static boolean true d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true d-i partman-auto/method string lvm d-i partman-lvm/device_remove_lvm boolean true d-i partman-lvm/confirm boolean true d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic d-i partman/confirm_write_new_label boolean true d-i partman/choose_partition select Finish partitioning and write changes to disk d-i partman-auto/choose_recipe select atomic d-i partman/confirm boolean true d-i partman/confirm_nooverwrite boolean true d-i partman/default_filesystem string ext4 d-i clock-setup/utc boolean true d-i clock-setup/ntp boolean true d-i clock-setup/ntp-server string ntp.ubuntu.com<http://ntp.ubuntu.com> d-i base-installer/kernel/image string linux-server
