[Server-devel] mkusbinstall fails -SUCCESS

[David Leeming]

Martin,

All solved - I did not read all that Pia has written on the XS installing
server wiki page - it's all there. I missed the bit about editing ks.cfg

Well done Pia and sorry to be too impatient to follow instructions :)

I now have 0.5.1 running on the eBox

Good to hear you found the way to get it started...

Yes, I've seen this on various hardware. It's not really a hw bug,
it's just some odd incompatibility with the installer sw (anaconda).

Can you get your hands on a USB-CDROM?

If not, the next step to study is starting up the install from that
USB stick, and then telling it it's an NFS-based installation, and
pointing it to an NFS server...

... it's a hard road if you don't have a CDROM... :-/

cheers,
