13장. Starting Kickstart installations

Procedure

1. Open the boot loader configuration file on your PXE server, and add the inst.ks= boot option to the appropriate line. The name of the file and its syntax depends on your system’s architecture and hardware:

   1. On AMD64 and Intel 64 systems with BIOS, the file name can be either default or based on your system’s IP address. In this case, add the inst.ks= option to the append line in the installation entry. A sample append line in the configuration file looks similar to the following:

      append initrd=initrd.img inst.ks=http://192.168.124.2/kickstarts/ks.cfg

   2. On systems using the GRUB2 boot loader (AMD64, Intel 64, and 64-bit ARM systems with UEFI firmware and IBM Power Systems servers), the file name will be grub.cfg. In this file, append the inst.ks= option to the kernel line in the installation entry. A sample kernel line in the configuration file will look similar to the following:

      linuxefi /redhat/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.ks=http://192.168.124.2/kickstarts/ks.cfg

2. If you want to configure an automated Kickstart installation by using UEFI HTTP boot, locate the bootloader configuration file (grub.cfg) served by the HTTP server and edit it in a similar way as in step 1.b:

   linuxefi /redhat/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz inst.ks=http://192.168.124.2/kickstarts/ks.cfg

3. Boot the installation from the network server.

   The installation begins now by using the installation options specified in the Kickstart file. If the Kickstart file is valid and contains all required commands, the installation is completely automated.

   참고

   If you have installed a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta release, on systems having UEFI Secure Boot enabled, then add the Beta public key to the system’s Machine Owner Key (MOK) list.
