Hi ,
I have Redhat Enterpirse 3 Update 3.
I am trying to create Bootable Single Cdrom
for Core Package Installation of my Redhat with Kickstart.
I had some troubles with the Installtion process.
I would appreciate much anyones idea of what happened wrong :
1. I have copied the entire CD1 into directory called /cdrom
2. Then, put inside /cdrom/RedHat/RPMS the rest of the packages
I need from the other cd`s.
3. I have created wokring Kickstart Config file and copy in into
/cdrom/ks.cfg
4. I have deleted all TRANS.TBL files from the /cdrom Directory
5. Using anaconda to generate new hdlist :
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist /cdrom
6. Make an ISO file into /tmp/CDROM.iso
mkisofs -o /tmp/CDROM.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c
isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table \
-R -J -v -T /cdrom/
7. Then Burn the CD and start the installation process.
The installation start normally.
The cd is bootable and read the kickstart file.
Formattting the HD, Transferring install Image file .. Works fine.
But, when trying to read the packages for installation, it failed
to continue with error "An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please
make sure you 're not ... "
Please, let me know if there is somehting wrong in what I did,
or I miss something..
Thanks in Advance,
Sion
