The problem seems to be that anaconda has a problem with having a network card statically configured :-( All I had to do is change the bootproto for eth0 from 'static' to 'DHCP'. Now it successfully retrieves 'stage2.img' file from the web server and completes the installation with zero intervention. For the time being this will do, but I'd rather the clients have everything configured locally once when installing than accessing the network for any information they need (this configuration is for a HPC cluster and every network access decreases performance). -- TIA Paolo ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If that's the case the next most likely culprit is > url --url http://192.168.11.1/source Just because the PXE boot loader can download the kickstart config does not mean that the installation process will work with that NIC. Also I've had lots of broadcom systems not work with kickstart over the years, it's not uncommon for newer systems to have newer revs of the chipsets and those revs not being supported by the installer. But it sounds like in your case it does work, so I would look at the url above, as it likely is the cause of the problem.

Re: [CentOS] kickstart problems
Hi Nate Autoconfiguration failure makes sense, but it's not a drivers issue: 1: It's a broadcom tg3 driver that is well supported in the kernel. 2: the kernel fetches successfully the kickstart configuration file I supply it in the command line and 3: After the error comes up I get the HTTP setup configuration screen with the source website (in IP) and CentOS directory as I entered them in the pxeconfiguration file and as it appears in the kickstart configuration file and all I have to do is press the 'OK' button to continue the installation to a successful completion. 4. Sniffing the network showed the following: the kernel fetches the kickstart file, fails to fetch 'product.img' file prints out the error message of being unable to fetch 'stage2.img' file and only when I press the 'OK' button in the HTTP setup window actually contacts the HTTP server and successfully fetches 'stage2.img' file. My guess is that my configuration isn't handled properlly by anaconda, I just need to find out where (or change my configuration so that anaconda will handle it properly). I (out of haste of getting this email out) omitted the configuration files I use in the kickstart configuration. So here they are ... pxelinux.cfg/C0A80B02: default ks prompt 0 label ks kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img ramdisk_size=9216 ksdevice=bootif noapic acpi=off ks=http://192.168.11.1/kickstart/n002.ks ipappend 2 kickstart configuration file: # Kickstart file automatically generated by anaconda. install lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us network --device eth0 --bootproto static --ip 192.168.11.2 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 192.168.11.1 --nameserver=192.168.11.1 --hostname n002.example.com network --device eth1 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname n002.example.com network --device eth2 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname n002.example.com network --device eth3 --onboot no --bootproto dhcp --hostname n002.example.com url --url http://192.168.11.1/source rootpw --iscrypted ? firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --disabled timezone --utc Asia/Jerusalem bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=sda --append="noapic acpi=off" # The following is the partition information you requested # Note that any partitions you deleted are not expressed # here so unless you clear all partitions first, this is # not guaranteed to work zerombr clearpart --all --drives=sda part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=sda . . .

[CentOS] Re: Curmudgeoning (was Re: Problems with writing Dual Layer DVD)
8" floppies. Now that does bring back a memory for me. I was working on a project in Texas. The customer was in Kentucky as I recall. I fixed a problem and gave an 8" floppy to our Shipping department, to send to the customer. The customer called me on the phone, to inform me that the floppy had been bent, so it would fit into the box. As I recall, it did work, after he straightened it out. For the rest of the time that I worked there, I packed things myself, before they were shipped, and that wasn't my job. I couldn't believe someone in the Shipping department was that stupid. Are you kidding? The shipping and the mailroom departments are usually the first place that get their budgets cut.

If there is a driver disk for that NIC you can use that, what I typically have done in the past is build an updated driver from source and insert it into the installation program which is a fairly complicated process involving extracting the initrd, the modules.cgz inside of it, putting the compatible driver built against the same kernel into the modules config and recompressing the modules file, updating the pci device table for the new device, and rebuilding the initrd. Also adding a step in the %post section to install a compatible driver with whatever kernel the installer ends up installing so when the system reboots it has network connectivity. I also repeat the first part of the process where I insert the kernel, again in the stage 2 netinst.img? file(forgot off hand exactly what the file is called), it may not be required for network drivers, but I think it is for storage drivers, I forget, been a while since I had to do it. nate ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

But keep in mind that many folks (and distros?) believe ed is hopelessly outdated and some even advocate its removal from distributions. Thankfully some other packages(s) depend on it. You would be better off using other techniques, sed, (g)awk, some minor programming language, perl, ... Regardless, you can't do it precisely as you desire do to the nature or ed. It's a pure context-sensitive editor. Fortunately us outdated relics hang together and I can offer a solution. Whether it is acceptable to you is another matter.

You have a basic problem with trying to do it without commands using a range, such as those in your second example. >From "man ed": DIAGNOSTICS When an error occurs, if ed’s input is from a regular file or here document, then it exits, otherwise it prints a ‘?’ and returns to command mode.

Further, your specification of the file leaves a lot to the imagination. If there are more than 26 instances of addresses you need to add some more to my sample script to remove existing marks, after they are done being used, and mark again. Repeat, rinse until done. If there is more than one occurrence of any pattern, my sample is inadequate, due to the use of marks to get around ed's inability to handle a not-found silently and gracefully. This example will process only the last occurrence. Although ed is very fast, if the target files are large this may be slow due to the repeated traversal of the buffers. With a limit of only 26 items (in my example) this may not be an issue.

I think *this* point cannot be stressed enough. I frankly do not care if you top post or bottom post - without editing anything out of the mail you reply to it's just the same mess.

[CentOS] kickstart problems
Hi I'm having a problem with setting up a kickstart environment based on CentOS 5.2 x86_64, on a Sun X2200 M2 server (both the server and the client in the kickstart environment are Sun X2200 M2 systems): the first attempt to load stage2.img fails with the error screen: "unable to retrieve http://192.168.11.10/source/images/stage2.img";. Pressing the "OK" button brings up the "HTTP Setup" screen with "Website name: 192.168.11.10" and "CentOS directory: /source" if I press OK it successfully loads stage2.img file and continues with the kickstart installation to a successful completion. I checked the apache logs on 192.168.11.10 and there is no attempt by the client to even load stage2.img before it prompts for the error.
