Hi Team ,
I am setting up the RL9 as cobbler based installation via kickstart file. I have integrate RL9 with cobbler, Cobbler is booting up via PXE properly from profile created but some how while installing OS its getting terminate and issue is showing with module “install”
I have tried “inst.install” that also not help here , Could some one please help me to fix this
kickstart file :
# Partition clearing information
clearpart --all --initlabel
# Use text mode install
text
# Firewall configuration
firewall --disabled
# Run the Setup Agent on first boot
firstboot --disable
# System keyboard
keyboard us
# System language
lang en_US
# Use network installation
url --url=$tree
# If any cobbler repo definitions were referenced in the kickstart profile, include them here.
$yum_repo_stanza
# Network information
$SNIPPET('network_config')
# Reboot after installation
reboot
#Root password
rootpw --iscrypted $default_password_crypted
#rootpw pass@123
# SELinux configuration
selinux --disabled
# Do not configure the X Window System
skipx
# System timezone
timezone --utc UTC
# Install OS instead of upgrade
**install**
# Clear the Master Boot Record
zerombr
# Allow anaconda to partition the system as needed
Thanks Prasad , it was BOLD while updating in forum here so it is showing in ** install **
in ks file it is install only , I have tried with same its not helping to fix
Once the error occurs switch to other TTYs (ctrl+alt+F1/F2/F3, don’t remember which). One of the TTY will show verbose output of the activity. That might give a hint to the issue.
Thank you !!
Issue is still not fixed , I check logs but its only mentioning about install keyword which looks like deprecated and not allowing custom partition as well
The Cobble kickstart I am using is working well with other OS up to CENTOS 7. We are tying to integrate Rocky Linux 9 first time with our existing Kickstart Setup.
I have updated some deprecated keywords with inst., But not sure still I am facing issue for stage2 and repo keywords
OK well the last kickstart i did was Centos 7, so maybe somthing has changed in 8 or 9 that im not aware of and I feel your pain as i remember making our custom kickstart server work with rhel6 when it was written for 5.
anything in this document stick out in the kickstart file that cobbler creates.
sometimes its easier to create a really basic tftpboot/bootp server and http server with a single kickstart file in it tied to your mac address and just use that to get to the bottom of the issue as cobbler probably has loads of bits that build the final config, and finding which one is causing your problem when you dont know what the problem is is difficult. if you know which part of the kickstart is wrong then its easy to grep for what builds that part in the cobbler scripts and then add an if [$RHEL = 9]then …
also grab the anaconder.cfg from an interactive rocky9 build as a starting point.
