Hi

I am booting a iso form a usb using extlinux.
All is well and mu usb boot gives me the menu and when i select a particular item in the menu i get error
unable to download kickstartfile
Please modify the kickstart parameter below
cdrom:/abc.cfg

I know that the error is it is looking for abc.cfg in the Cdrom which does not exist.
This file is in the root directory of my usb from where i am booting

I tried (hd0,0):/abc.cfg
(hd1,0):/abc.cfg

but it doesn't work

How can i fix this???

Ok

I also tried placing abc.cfg in the same directory where i have installed extlinux i.e inside a folder called extlinux
then i modified the parameter from
cdrom:/abc.cfg to just abc.cfg but that deosn'r work either

between the option i am selecting looks something like this in the extlinux.conf file
label abc
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img ks=cdrom:/abc.cfg

r u using usb flash drive??

yes i am using usb flash drive

Ok fixed this one using try n error method

hd:sdc/abc.cfg worked

now i get the error saying RED HAT Linux server CD was not found in any of your CDROM drives

This is strange
I made the changes in the extlinux.conf file but it still showed me the error for KS file but when on the error prompt i hit ok the error goes off and get the new error as i mentioned above.
MY ks file does a bunch of thing its almost like a bash file
so i dont think i got away with the error

Any idea?>

why do i always run into problems no on has answer for?
Got to think about this lol

Come on Someone must have had this problem

Where is your RED HAT Linux server CD?

Can you post the top of your anaconda kickstart file?

i dont have a red hat linux server CD . I have made a iso (custom iso) which install Red Hat and my software.

hd:sdc was before cdrom so i changed it but then it tells me to locate the Red Hat image which i cant figure where it is

If you customized iso is on the hd:sdc have you tried giving it the path to it after the sdc?

yes when i give the path to it .it goes ahead but then it is looking for images Red Hat Linux server.

Now I dont know where to find it
It has to be on the usb but which directory I have no idea.
I tried putting the path to isolinux but that didn't work.

My kickstart file has a line "mount -t iso9660 /tmp/cdrom /mnt/cdrom"

I think I have to change this line since its mounting the cdrom to a directory called /mnt/cdrom

How do i change this line so as to mount the usb ???

Did you ever get this to work? If so, what did you do?
