I&#39;m trying to install f8 (and tried with rh el 5 too) on a dell 1950.<br>I&#39;m using virtual floppy (for kickstart file) and virtual cd (for dvd iso image), that are emulated as scsi over usb.<br>Onboard there is also a physical cd (seen as hda).<br>
Virtual cd is seen initially as /dev/sr0 and then mapped by udev to /dev/scd0.<br>Virtual floppy is seen as /dev/sdb<br><br>I&#39;m able to boot from virtual cd and at boot prompt I can type:<br><br>linux ks=hd:sdb/ks.cfg<br>
<br>so that my automated installation starts correctly using the kickstart file, where I have the lines:<br><br>install<br>cdrom<br><br>During installation phase I get an error about not founding cdrom device.<br>At this point I can choose &quot;back&quot; in the screen and the installation proceeds automatically using the virtual cd.<br>
Is there a way to tell ks (or in command line) to use automatically the virtual cd instead of the physical one?<br>I noticed that in ks docs there is:<br><code class="command">cdrom</code> — Install from the first CD-ROM drive on the system.<br>
<br>Is it the &quot;first&quot; word above causing me the problem? <br>I would like to have a completely unattanded installation path.... without necessarily pass through nfs or other network based installations?<br>I found suggestions about using idex=cdom at boot prompt and tried without success:<br>
<br>linux ks=hd:sdb/ks.cfg sr0=cdrom<br><br>linux ks=hd:sdb/ks.cfg scd0=cdrom<br><br>Thanks,<br>Gianluca<br>
