Hi I am running RH9 (trying) and booting my servers with kickstart my post install isn't running, I see the progress bar go accross for a few secs, but it doesn't do anything except create an empty log file, my first command. Any thoughts what I am doing wrong - thanks

Are you sure that you have the right destinations?


In the %post declaration statement you use --nochroot.
Which will mean that during the post installation, the top of the hierarchy will be /, the top of the new installed system will be /mnt/sysimage.


So I suppose if you want a logfile to the installed systems´ tmp it would have the following path: /mnt/sysimage/tmp/logfile
