Re: [CentOS] Custom ISO
Looks like the issue was with the set -l 'CentOS 7 x86-64' in the grub.cfg file. It needed to match my changed name. Looking good now. Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Re: [CentOS] Custom ISO
Thanks for hint. I have changed to this: genisoimage \ -v \ -J -R \ -V "$NAME" \ -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \ -boot-info-table -eltorito-alt-boot -b images/efiboot.img -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 18755 \ -o $DESTINATION_FILE . it now creates the ISO and is EFI bootable. However - I have a different issue arise. In normal install or EFI install (both) it hangs at "Starting dracut initqueue hook..." Only thing I am changing is the add the boot options for my kickstart file. So then I tried select the "standard" "Install CentOS 7" and it does the same thing, hangs at "Starting dracut". Any thoughts on that ? I am testing with virt-manager. Thanks, Jerry ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
[CentOS] Custom ISO
Hi All, I am trying to make a customer ISO. When I run this command: mkisofs -o $DESTINATION_FILE -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c boot.cat \ -no-emul-boot -boot-info-table \ -V "$NAME" -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -R -J -v -T \ -eltorito-alt-boot -e images/efiboot.img \ $DESTINATION_DIR it tells me: Size of boot image is 4 sectors -> No emulation Size of boot image is 17408 sectors -> genisoimage: Error - boot image 'images/efiboot.img' has not an allowable size. This is the exact same file that is on the Everything ISO image. What am I missing ? I also want to make the ISO boot with UEFI. I think I have the right parameters but getting this error. Thoughts?

Re: [CentOS] Custom ISO With Post Installation Scripts
If your distro is using systemd then rc.local will not get executed by default. Enable rc-local.service : "systemctl enable rc-local.service".

[CentOS] Custom ISO With Post Installation Scripts
Dear All I have been working on a custom ISO with kickstart and a couple of post installation scripts and would like to have the script run before the login prompt. The custom ISO works; however, the scripts fails because some of the services, e.g. mariadb does not start before the server installation has been completed and rebooted; therefore, I have been putting the scripts in /etc/profile.d/ and after logging in the scripts will execute and upon completion of the script will be deleted from /etc/profile.d/. DuckDuckGo suggested that I copy the script to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and make it executable; however, I have tried that a few times and the script simply does not execute. Below is an excerpt from the ks.cfg. export SRCDIR="/run/install/repo" export DSTDIR="/mnt/sysimage" # copy scripts to the destintion of the server cp -v $SRCDIR/postinstall/script1.sh $DSTDIR/etc/rc.d/rc.local/script1.sh # Make scripts executable chmod +x $DSTDIR/etc/rc.d/rc.local.sh Since this is a ISO for a community project, don't think that tools such as Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc. will work here. Also, it is a one time execution; therefore, I did not consider using systemd because the goal would be to have visibility while the script is running just as I see after I login; however, just need the script to be executed after the OS was installed and restarted and before the login prompt. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. -- Earl Ramirez signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Custom ISO based on kickstart
Hello! I would like to shrink my installation media restricted only to necessary packages based on my kickstart file. So I am looking for an application/script which select rpms and those dependencies based on a kickstart file. If just display them that is ok does not need to copy/download anything else. Is there any such utility? I've found a site which helps to select rpms based on my comps.xml (mandatory, default) but I do not want to change my comps.xml but want to create a kickstart file and create a media based on that.
