Here are a couple tips for kickstarting Hewlett-Compaqard DL300 series
servers.
If you didn 't license the iLO upgrade pack which enables graphics,
specify "nofb " on the command line to make text mode work.
Comment out the "splashimage " option in grub.conf so that the grub menu
is still usable without the iLO graphics option.
I use the following %post script in kickstart:
# make sure grub is in text mode only (comment out the splashimage)
sed 's/^splashimage/# splashimage/ ' </boot/grub/grub.conf \
>/tmp/grub.conf
if [ -s /tmp/grub.conf ] ; then
mv /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.orig
mv /tmp/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf
fi
When using PXE boot, you can still specify kernel command line
parameters - you have to edit the
/tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/XXXXXXXX file and add it there.
Note that redhat-config-netboot will not like this and will not do it
for you.
Example (don 't use the backslash - make it one line):
root@(protected) > cat /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/0A3241C7
default RHES_3.0
label RHES_3.0
kernel RHES_3.0/vmlinuz
append initrd=RHES_3.0/initrd.img nofb ramdisk_size=10000 \
console=tty0 ks=
http://192.168.100.1/ks.cfg
