can't kickstart
Posted: 15. Oct 2010, 21:49
hi,
trying to kickstart a red hat machine inside virtualbox.
host OS = solaris 10
vbox = 3.2.8
RH = 5.5 kernel 2.6.18-194.el5
the ethernet addr is in the dhcp server.
in VB, the enet is enabled, bridged. i've checked and that enet addr
matches the dhcp server.
if i install from a DVD, the os goes in and installs.
i can log in as root. from the console.
i can ping the installed new machine
what i want to do is install this machine from kickstart. but
i can't detect that it even tries to look for the kickstart file.
it jumps straight to the question about testing the CD media.
any advice on how to debug this? i can kickstart machines hosted
on a VMware-based machine -- that host OS is windows.
thanks.
