Performing a Kickstart Installation
Using Red Hat 7.0
Updated June 20, 2001
Created May 29, 2001

• syslinux.cfg
• ks.cfg
• cpq_stuff.sh

Creating a Kickstart Configuration File (ks.cfg)

1. Install a system with all the packages as you like



2. Make sure the mkkickstart.rpm is installed



3. Run mkkickstart and direct the output to a file

mkkickstart >ks.cfg

4. Make any necessary modifications to ks.cfg for it to behave how you want. Pay attention to partitioning and LILO installation location.



5. Build the /images/bootnet.img floppy and modify syslinux.cfg so that it defaults to the ks label. Also put any ks specific pointers there.

---

SYSLINUX.CFG

• Here is my modified syslinux.cfg from the bootnet floppy


syslinux.cfg (from /images/bootnet.img floppy)

default ks
prompt 1
timeout 10
display boot.msg
F1 boot.msg
F2 general.msg
F3 expert.msg
F4 param.msg
F5 rescue.msg
F7 snake.msg
label linux
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img devfs=nomount
label text
  kernel vmlinuz
  append initrd=initrd.img text devfs=nomount
label expert
  kernel vmlinuz
  append expert initrd=initrd.img devfs=nomount
label ks
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks=nfs:server:/cpq_stuff/ks.cfg initrd=initrd.img devfs=nomount

---

KS.CFG

• I had to make some slight modifications to the ks.cfg file (mostly had to do with partitioning the system how I want it; and where to install LILO to).



• I removed the following line because I am doing a network install so it will already know where the network is.

device ethernet eepro100

• I added the following line to let kickstart know where to get CD's 1 & 2 from for the network installation using NFS.

nfs --server server.linuxclinic.org --dir /var/ftp/pub/rh70respin/i386

• I added the following lines because kickstart didn't specify how I want the system partitioned.

part /boot --size 60
part / --size 4096
part swap --size 256

• I added the following lines because kickstart didn't specify where I want LILO installed.

lilo --linear --location partition

• I added the following line because I want the server to reboot immediately after installation without prompting to press a key to reboot.

reboot

• Here is my ks.cfg which I had stored on the NFS share of server.linuxclinic.org:/cpq_stuff


server.linuxclinic.org:/cpq_stuff/ks.cfg

KS.CFG-POST

• I added my own scripts to the %post section of the ks.cfg file so it would install Compaq Health Driver and Agents after installation.


Note: The snmpd.conf may not be configured correctly; and one would want to reconfigure their own snmpd.conf to make sure that their site is secure.

Note: Notice that the following %post section puts a runonce.sh script in place which are instructions for installing the health driver and agents. It also puts in checks so that the system can check for this runonce.sh script. I also modify the boot sector on the bootnet.img floppy so that we can reboot to the hard drive without having to physically pull the bootnet floppy. Finally after the system installs the Health Driver and Agents, and after the resulting reboot, I restore the boot sector to the floppy if it is still in the drive. This can use a little polishing and debugging to make sure everything is going exactly as it should be; however, it does work in its current state.

Here is my %post section which belongs at the end of the ks.cfg file listed above.

#Lets have /runonce.sh grab the files necessary for
#    installation of cpqhealth, agents, survey, e100, ...
#    /runonce.sh doesn't exist yet, so we will do
#    a plain file copy to create /runonce.sh
#
cp /mnt/nfs/grab.sh /runonce.sh
#
#Now that /runonce.sh is configured to grab all the
#    files necessary for installation of Compaq components
#    lets add to /runonce.sh to have it install those components.
#    Notice that here we "append" to /runonce.sh instead 
#    of overwriting it.
#
cat /mnt/nfs/cpq_stuff.sh >>/runonce.sh


#Now that we are done with the NFS share, 
#    lets unmount it.
umount /mnt/nfs





#
#Lets automate this kickstart install even further.  If
#    there happens to be the Red Hat network boot floppy
#    (or any floppy really) in the floppy drive, we will
#    overwrite the boot sector with the MBR.  This will
#    allow the system to boot "through" the floppy "to"
#    the hard drive.  This gives us a kind of "pass through"
#    capability for the boot floppy.  Certainly there are
#    other ways of performing this same procedure; however,
#    you always have to choose only one method.  This one
#    just happened to be the first one I chose.
#
#Check the floppy drive for a floppy, if it is still in there
#    then we will overwrite the boot sector in the next couple
#    of sections.  For now, just check for existence of floppy:
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/floppy.mbr bs=512 count=1
RESULT=$?
if [ $? ]; then
#If there is a floppy in the drive, then...

	#Add some commands to /runonce.sh to be 
	#    able to execute /runonce-next.sh
	#
	cat <<-EOF>>/runonce.sh
	rm /runonce.sh
	mv /runonce-next.sh /runonce.sh
	EOF

	#Generate the /runonce-next.sh script
	#    to be able to restore the boot sector
	#    to the floppy.  The way this is currently
	#    configured, you get one shot at having the
	#    floppy in the drive; otherwise, you have to
	#    restore the boot sector to the floppy manually
	#    if you care about doing that.
	#
	cat <<-EOF>>/runonce-next.sh
	`echo \#!/bin/sh`
	if [ -e /floppy.mbr ]; then
		dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy.mbr bs=512 count=1 || break;
		dd if=/dev/ida/c0d0 of=/tmp/hdd.mbr bs=512 count=1 || dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/hdd.mbr bs=512 count=1

		if [ \$? ]; then
			dd if=/floppy.mbr of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1
			rm /floppy.mbr
		fi
		rm /tmp/floppy.mbr
		rm /tmp/hdd.mbr
	fi
	EOF

	#Now that we have the /runonce-next.sh script in
	#    place, lets blow away the boot sector of the
	#    floppy now.  This here is what will give us
	#    this "pass through" feature I was speaking of.
	#
	dd if=/dev/ida/c0d0 of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1 || dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 count=1

else
	#Else if there was no floppy in the drive, then it is

	#    all the above testing.  Lets attempt to remove

#    3. possible floppy instructions to handle network boot floppy
#We need to send the reboot command to /runonce.sh
#    so that the system will reboot one last time, making sure
#    that everything comes up as expected.  Also the above
#    configuration handles restoring the boot floppy after this 
#    reboot.  Since our script that installs the compaq mgmt stuff
#    starts all the cpq stuff correctly, we don't really need this
#    last reboot, but thats how I did it for the class and that
#    would mean extra changing of how the scripts are positioned.
#    The time saved vs time lost in reconfiguring the scripts
#    is not big enough to me just yet.
