[ILUG] PXElinux and Kickstart

[ILUG] PXElinux and Kickstart

Paul Reilly paulr at maths.tcd.ie

I'm testing out PXELinux/SysLinux [1] to do a remote install
over PXE with Kickstart. Although I can boot in to a remote kernel
it doesn't seem to proceed to the next step which is to kickstart.
My kickstart file is shared over NFS (can you do it any other way?)
but it never seems to be requested.
My SYSLinux config is:

default linux
label linux
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ksdevice=eth1 load_ramdisk=1 initrd=initrd.img \
         network ks=nfs:mymachine.tld:/linuxboot/ks.cfg

Does that look OK, or am I missing something?

Paul
