Hi, I'm trying to use a kickstart file to install VMs on a Scientific Linux 5.2 (repackaged RHEL52) host, but the install process seems to ignore my kickstart file. The command I'm using is: virt-install -n sl4vm01 --ram=1024 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel4 --extra-args="ks=http://particle.phys.uvic.ca/~fransham/ks.cfg" --paravirt --nographics --file=/var/lib/xen/images/BbrSL4.img --file-size=5 --location=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/46/i386/ -d In the output, I see that the ks=<mykickstartfile> parameter is indeed being passed to the kernel: ... Built 1 zonelists Kernel command line: ks=http://particle.phys.uvic.ca/~fransham/ks.cfg method=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/46/i386/ Initializing CPU#0 ... but I am forced to go through all of the install options (eg. setting the language) anyways. I don't see any errors in the startup messages (see below). Does anyone have any troubleshooting suggestions? Thanks Kyle The output: virt-install -n test-dev2 --ram=1024 --vcpus=1 --os-type=linux --os-variant=rhel4 --extra-args="ks=http://particle.phys.uvic.ca/~fransham/ks.cfg" --paravirt --nographics --file=/var/lib/xen/images/BbrSL4.img --file-size=5 --location=ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/46/i386/ -d Wed, 28 Jan 2009 13:20:55 DEBUG Disk path not found: Assuming file disk type.
