Oracle Linux 6.2 kickstart - non-dhcp/pxe

edited Feb 20, 2014 12:00PM in Linux Operating System (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered

Background:  I have kickstarted a large number of OL5 servers, all using a kickstart file, and using a boot .iso.  In all the OL5 attempts, I always get the option to type in a command line, such as follows:

>> linux ks=http://<IP>/ks/my-kick-start-file.cfg ksdevice=eth0 IP=<IP address>... etc.

When I attempt to do the same thing with Oracle Linux 6.2, I never get that command line option.  I always get the splash screen to "Install or upgrade an existing system", etc.  Essentially, never allowing me to specify my kickstart file path.

What am I missing?  I have tried this on VM's, as well as, on standalone physical hardware.  I have specified the boot.iso through ILO and within VMware through mounting to the iso on a datastore.

Howdy, Stranger!
