Red Hat :: Kickstart Iso Not Booting - RHEL 6

Mar 11, 2011

I'm trying to create an iso to use for a kickstart installation.

I mounted the Rhel6 boot DVD, copied the files(recursively cp -r /mnt/dvd/ ~/myiso) to a directory ~/myiso

I then placed the ks.cfg on ~/myiso and ~/myiso/isolinux for good measure, as the documentation is not 100% clear on this.

I then try to make an iso out of ~/myiso but no luck in booting so far.

I've tried the following:

Code:
mkisofs -o ks.iso -b images/install.img -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table isolinux .

Server :: Making Kickstart CD - PXE Booting?

Jan 13, 2010

I need to create a Redhat or CentOS server but I am not really sure where to begin. I'm not sure what network booting and PXE booting is. Are they both the same thing, or are they different? I want to setup one server and two client machines to connect to my server. I would like to be able to load a kickstart CD on my server and have the two client machines boot off that servers kickstart. My concern is, will they boot off the network or do they have to be configured to use PXE booting?

Red Hat :: RHEL AS4 Not Booting Up - Volume Group Not Found

Jan 18, 2010

I have run into some serious problems trying to start up RHEL AS4. I am trying to install Oracle on this box which by the way is running as a guest OS through VirtualBox. I was running with it fine yesterday. I was doing the prerequisites of updating the /etc/sysctl.conf file with additional kernel parameters. Prior to that I added another scsi virtual disk and extended a PV and left it at that for the night. I am since come back today and trying booting and am getting the following errors:

Volume group "VolGroup00" not found;
Couldn't find all physical volumes for volume group VolGroup00;
Couldn't find device with UUID "Some UUID of the device";
ERROR: /bin/lvm exited abnormally! (pid 318);
mount: error 6 mounting ext3;
mount: error 2 mounting none;
switchroot: mount failed: 22
umount /initrd/dev failed: Z
kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

I have tried running in rescue mode and it can find volume group VolGroup00. I also have installed Storage Foundation which includes veritas volume manager and other various veritas components. Does anyone have a clue what I am supposed to do here to get RHEL up and running again? I am running kernel version 2.6.9-42.EL if that helps as well.

CentOS 5 :: Pirut/yum: RHEL 5.1 - Maintain An Unregistered RHEL Box?

Feb 16, 2010

A client has sent me an RHEL 5.1 box for me to do some work on, but it's not registered with Red Hat. This is causing me problems, because it's a minimal installation, and I need some more dev software.My immediate reaction was to install various bits (emacs, and so on) from my Centos 5(.0) DVD.The base RHEL system only had one (disabled) repo entry,so I added a yum DVD repo entry in yum.conf.d.

This looked good to start with, but it doesn't work. Something in RHEL's pirut/yum/rpm/whatever is getting confused, and can't work out what is/isn't installed.

Question - how do you maintain an unregistered RHEL box? Has RH done something to make life difficult? Is my problem simply that I'm using a Centos 5.0 DVD, instead of Centos 5.1? Am I stuck with downloading lots of rpms from the net and doing everything manually? I really don't want to do that.

Red Hat :: Duplicating A RHEL 5.1 32bit Server On RHEL 5.4 64 Bit

Dec 9, 2009

I have a database server running RHEL 5.1 32 bit that suffered some catastrophic failures about 6 months ago. We were able to patch it back together and keep it running, but now the manufacturing site it supports is going to shut down for two weeks and I would like to replace it permenantly. Does anyone have any guidance for that sort of thing? I'd like to have the new server up and running before hand, basically changing the hostname/ip and restoring the databases only on conversion day. I've done this in the past with HP UX - Red Hat conversions, but this is my first red hat to red hat move. Any advice or shortcuts?I forgot to add the other wrinkle. The new server will be running 64bit linux.

Red Hat :: How To Dual Boot RHEL 5.2 And RHEL 5.4

Sep 25, 2009

Environment:RHEL 5.2 and 5.4 AP x86_64, 2 drives (sda, sdb), installing without optional features like clustering and virtualization. I have tried this for a couple of days now and just can't get it to work. My goal is to take the RHEL 5.2 DVD and RHEL 5.4 DVD and install them on separate drives of the same machine. I want the grub menu to give me a choice. I prefer to understand the steps and choices offered me by the install dialog to do this rather than fiddle with grub.conf. If that is not possible, I will write up the bug.

So far, I just get the the error 13 when trying to start the grub added second OS. I have read elsewhere that "Anaconda frequently recognizes the other operating system and sets up grub so you can boot from either operating system". That would be nice. The install dialog lets me choose a drive to install to. I have figured out that I need to check "review and modify partitioning layout" to enter the advanced grub choices. Do I have it install a boot loader for the 1st OS? Trying to add the 1st OS during the second OS install creates a grub conf with no kernel line in the added boot stanza.

General :: Kickstart Red Hat From DVD?

Feb 9, 2011

I learnt that there is a way where we can automate the installation of Red Hat using a kickstart script. However, everywhere they talk about doing that from bootable floppy image. I have a single DVD of Red Hat (RHEL5). Can anyone tell how can I kickstart the installation using the kickstart script, i.e., where do I place the ks.cfg file on the disk and what command should be given at the boot prompt? (Kickstart from DVD and not from any network.)

Red Hat :: How To Load Driver In Kickstart

Jan 14, 2011

I'm trying to load RHEL4 (I know, I know, but I can't get around that) on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-31 using a kickstart file. I start the install using 'linux acpi=off ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg' (I use acpi=off otherwise it hangs at some ACPI embedded controller message). It does not recognize my CD-ROM drive, though, and asks me to choose the driver or point to a driver disk. I've selected 'Advanced Host Controller Interface SATA (ahci)' and it is able to continue on. It forgets that it was supposed to run off of the kickstart, though, and goes into the default graphical install. My question is...how do I add a line into the kickstart to choose this driver?

Red Hat :: Kickstart Install From Harddrive?

I have a working Centos 5.4 (== Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4) kickstart installation working with pxe boot.I am now trying to do the same kickstart installation but from a SCSI harddrive on the hardware box itself.In other words, the system already has an older distribution on it, and it has a formatted LVM partition with free space. I expect to upload an initrd, vmlinux, ks.cfg at the top of this partition, edit the grub.conf with something like so:

grub.conf

Ubuntu :: Booting After Installation (Dual Booting With Vista) - Error: No Such Devide Found

Jun 24, 2010

i decided to install ubuntu in my PC,i downloaded the .ISO image and i installed it in my USB. After trying it and all that i observed that i really liked it and i decided to formally install it to my computer in the hard drive. When i reached the partition thing,i selected to dual boot with Vista and select between each them in every startup,when i clicked FORWARD it gave me an error which i did not read(because,again im a noob) so i clicked cancel.

Today i wanted to go through the process again and now really install it,so again i went to the time zone part and i clicked forward but then,instead of taking me straight to the partition phase,it appeard a window saying "The installer has detected that the following disks have mounted partitions: /dev/sda ...." I clicked yes,to unmount this partitions so it took me to the partition thing,once there i selected the option to install Ubuntu with Vista and select between them i neach startup,then i clicked forward and went to the username/computer name process,once i finished i continued to the next part,the installation,but i selected to import all of my WIndows VIsta default user data,after that i clicked forward and went to the installation process,i went down stairs to eat soemthing while it finishes,i came back and it was finished,it asked me to reboot so i clicked in Restart Now.

When it tried to boot,appeared an error saying: Error: no such devide found: #################### Grub load(or something like that) grub rescue: and it was a command line,since there i havent been able to boot into vista or Ubuntu,im really scared because is the first thing related to OS installing ive done,so i booted my USB and ran the trial and right now im trying to find out what to do from that trial version.
I just went to the INSTALL UBUNTU 10.04 LTS application under the System>Administration Menu and found out that in the partition phase the Install and allow to select between both systems in eahc startup option,i dont know what to do,i foudn out that my HD has still all its data(MUsic/Videos/Folders/Programs/ect.)its just that i cannot boot from it. Also in GParted it appears as /dev/sda1/ and a warning icon besides it,also when i go into information, thers this warning there [URL]
