Hi All,

I was trying to do a kick start with ftp.
My hostname is : host.example.com with IP 192.168.122.1
I am booting from my CD ROM and passing the KS file like,
ks=192.168.122.1/pub/ks.cfg.
But I am getting error like "Error downloadning kick start file"
And I tried same from USB drive as well insted of ftp. But same result.
I have disabled my Selinux.
Please note I am doing this from my physical machine to boot a virtual image in KVM.
I can see the ks.cfg file from a web browser when I type , ftp://192.168.122.1/pub/ks.cfg


Please take a look at my ks.cfg file.

Need more details.
1. What is the actual error message?
2. What are the permissions on the kickstart file?
3. Did you get the kickstart file from another system or did you use the kickstart configurator?

Ans:I have created with help of kick start configurator. And even I tried with the same(annaconda-ks.cfg) from /root directory of my physcical machine as well.

Thanks,
