Thread: Install ubuntu using kickstart file


hi,
where add boot parameters use ks.cfg


created kickstart file ks.cfg.
want place ks.cfg in iso file in order make unattended installation.

thanks,
mohan

hi,

* created kickstart file , pasted in extracted folder "ubuntu-10.04.3-alternate-i386.iso" .

* edited text.cfg in isolinux folder.

default install
label autoinstall
menu label ^automatically install ubuntu
kernel /install/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed initrd=/install/initrd.gz ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg --
label install
menu label ^install ubuntu
kernel /install/vmlinuz
append file=/cdrom/preseed/ubuntu.seed initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiet --
label check
menu label ^check disc defects
kernel /install/vmlinuz
append menu=/bin/cdrom-checker-menu initrd=/install/initrd.gz quiet --
label memtest
menu label test ^memory
kernel /install/mt86plus
label hd
menu label ^boot first hard disk
localboot 0x80

* in above code, after ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg, entered "--" instead of "-" in forum. iam wright or need change.

* @ last tried reconstitute iso file using command
mkisofs -d -r -v “$image_name” -cache-inodes -j -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ~/autoinstall.iso

* got error output

"i: -input-charset not specified, using utf-8 (detected in locale settings)
genisoimage: missing pathspec.
usage: genisoimage [options] -o file directory ...

use genisoimage -help
list of valid options.

report problems debburn-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org."

kindly guide me regarding this.

Thread: Can not create raid array: mdadm: no raid-devices specified.

hello! i'm trying setup software raid on server, fail @ first step: code: root@sandnabba:/root# mdadm -c /dev/md0 -c512 -l5 /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1 mdadm: no raid-devices specified. what doing wrong!? are sure -c equivalent --create? also, think need space after -c , -l options, value shouldn't command, or should have = between. @ man pages mdadm , double check spelling.
