AOOI - Error downloading kickstart file - FC6 1and1 x86_64

Ah I wonder if the disk on your system is coming up as hda2, or maybe the order of the disks is inverted. Try playing around with some other combinations to see if you can get them to find it.

I think I tried them all, none seem to work. Is there an alternate way to get the kickstart file in? It seems to mount the centos ISO ok. Maybe make an ISO out of the kickstart and mount it?

[scott]

Other than to figure out where it is on the disk, not really. Youve just got to root around there til you can find it. BTW its not something stupid like a zero length is it?

ugh, I give up, tried every possible device. Even tried doing a manual install, it just can't seem to get an IP when using the correct settings. It's like the drivers for the hard disks aren't loaded at all when the centos install starts. If there was some way to put the kickstart file in ram that wasn't deleted when rebooting then maybe.

Well if I could get access to the box I could figure it out (in my copious spare time). I'll bet its something amazingly retarded, catch me on IM sometime and we'll see what we can do.

Is it that the path is missing a colon? Shouldn't it be:

hd:sda2:/ks-1and1-x86_64.cfg

??

According to http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/5.1/I ... stall.html the syntax for a kickstart kernel option is

Code: Select all

 ks=hd:<device>:/<file> 

where the original aooi shell script has

Code: Select all

 append="ks=hd:$KSDEV/ks-1and1-$ARCH.cfg console=ttyS0,57600n8" 

(missing second ":").
