Probably we won't be able to either unless you elaborate on how
you begin the installation:)

Given you posted dhcpd config, I am willing to guess you are
doing|assuming something wrong...

Dhcp seems to be working fine as i'm getting the ip on my client and its booting with prelinux but after
starting it gives this error after detecting all the hardware and trying for the kickstart file

Please suggest.

The ks syntax on append line doesn't look right - I think you should
just use "ks=ftp://192.168.0.1/pub/ks.cfg"

kickstart installation error
 
Hi List,


I am trying to install rhel5 using kickstart,
I have created a kickstart file and provided it using ftp, installation is
happening but once the system boots it is booting into init level 1
and when I tried to switch to init 5 it is giving error "x is respawing high
disabled for 5 minutes"
Can I get the solution for this????



Thanks

Kavya

Does your machine meet the requirements for a graphical install? Change
the install method in your kickstart to cmdline to get verbose output in
text mode.

It does supports, from CD-Rom I will install in graphical mode itself.

Did you change the install type to cmdline or text? What happened then?

kickstart installation error
 
So I'm not sure I understand. You say installation is happening? Does that mean you successfully install RHEL5 and then can't boot into runlevel 5?
