Problems with kickstart script, partition info crashes deployment

  • 772

Currently testing cobbler, but have problem with the kickstart script when the partition information is loaded.

Here is my ks: http://pastebin.ca/1824343

I can't figure out what is the problem with the partsection at all. Without it, it works. I've even tried autopart. If the entry is removed, it works, but of course I have to provide the installer with partition information.

Under the kickstart an python exception is raised. I get a Errno 2 No such file or directory. My Apache logs states:

File does not exist: /var/www/cobbler/links/CentOS-5.3-x86_64/images/updates.img

File does not exist: /var/www/cobbler/links/CentOS-5.3-x86_64/disc1

File does not exist: /var/www/cobbler/links/CentOS-5.3-x86_64/images/product.img

But without the part information, no error occours.

What am I not seeing?

Cobbler 2.0.3, imported the CentOS 5.3 x86_64 DVD, PXE booting from a Xen guest.

linux centos pxe-boot kickstart cobbler

  1. I can't speak for CentOS but Red Hat Enterprise Linux will display a message on Virtual Console 3 (VT3) if there is a partitioning issue. Is there such a message?

    I have no idea why I didn't work, but I started from scratch and built cobbler up again and now it works.
