| Summary | 0000051: Problem with kickstart file | ||||
| Description | Hello Everyone, We have started using Alma Linux in our organization. However we have an issue when we tried to automate the installation but manual installation works fine. This is my kickstart file but we have not mentioned the "autopart --type=lvm" directions in this kickstart file but installation takes the automation partitioning but it works fine with CentOS 8. Due to the customization in my company, we have to use specific size for each installation, so we do not wish to make the automatic partitioning. Please help. $ cat /root/kickstart.ks #version=Alma Linux 8 ignoredisk --only-use=sda # System bootloader configuration bootloader --append="rhgb quiet crashkernel=auto" --location=mbr --boot-drive=sda # Clear the Master Boot Record zerombr # Partition clearing information clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=sda # Reboot after installation reboot # Use graphical install graphical # Use CDROM installation media cdrom # Keyboard layouts # old format: keyboard us # new format: keyboard --xlayouts='us' # System language lang en_US.UTF-8 # Root password # rootpw --iscrypted xxxxxx # System authorization information auth --passalgo=sha512 --useshadow # SELinux configuration selinux --disabled firstboot --disable # Do not configure the X Window System skipx # System services services --enabled="chronyd" # System timezone timezone Europe/Berlin %post --logfile=/root/ks-post.log %end %packages @^server-product-environment @system-tools %end %addon com_redhat_kdump --enable --reserve-mb='auto' %end | ||||

Hello. Did you use https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/BaseOS/x86_64/kickstart/ or https://repo.almalinux.org/almalinux/8/BaseOS/x86_64/os/ as repo for kickstart installation? |

Hello, No, I am using the local server as a Kickstart server and not using any repo. Basically mounting the Alma Linux ISO to the system and using the kickstart to do the installation. Thank you |

Anyone can help me please? |

Hi. I'm trying to understand your case. So you want to be asked for partition scheme during installation? You want it non-interactive? |
