Still installation DVD is not ejecting . suggestion on what needs to be configured is welcome I've been forced to use a hammer (figuratively) to make the eject work until I could sort out (not yet) why a smple 'eject' command didn't work in the kickstart file. The commands I've experimented with are at the end of my postinstall section: eject -v cdrom #eject -v -a on cdrom #eject -v -r -a on cdrom #eject -v -r -a on /dev/cdrom As you can see, for the moment the first is working for me as I want, the verbose flag is just because and I've not messed with success since. I'm open to other approaches, I've just been wrapped up in my own efforts. -- MCTMichael C Tiernan xmpp:mtier...@mit.edu +1 (617) 324-9173 MIT - Laboratory for Nuclear Science - http://www.lns.mit.edu High Perf Research Computing Facility at The Bates Linear Accelerator Please avoid sending me MS-Word or MS-PowerPoint attachments.

Eject is a valid kickstart directive you don't need to put it in a post. Additionally if you don't include the eject package in your package then in a post statement it won't work because the post by default execute chrooted into the installed OS-- Sent from my HP Pre3On Oct 21, 2013 8:13, Edison, Arul (GE Healthcare) aruljeyananth.jamesedi...@ge.com wrote: Hi All, In the kick start file, I have mentioned eject at post section at the end.

I put it in post because 'eject' wasn't working and I needed to fix it sooner than later. (And yes, eject was installed on the system when tested.) -- MCTMichael C Tiernan xmpp:mtier...@mit.edu +1 (617) 324-9173 MIT - Laboratory for Nuclear Science - http://www.lns.mit.edu High Perf Research Computing Facility at The Bates Linear Accelerator Please avoid sending me MS-Word or MS-PowerPoint attachments.
