    I've run into similar things. When I updated the NFS share of the CDs,
    the kernels didn't match from the boot media, so I had to rebuild the
    boot floopy. Make sure the kernels match...

    Subject: Kickstart Problem

            Hello,

            I'm trying to install a RedHat Enterprise 3 with kickstart and
    nfs.
            I created a boot floppy with syslinux which contain the
    vmlinuz-2.4.21-15.ELBOOT (renamed of counse). And I created my own
    initrd.img which contain only the modules I need from
    /lib/modules/2.4.21-15.ELBOOT. When the server boot it loads the vmlinuz
    and initrd.img successfully and ask me some question like the keyboard
    configuration, language etc...
            First I don't want the install to ask me these question how can
    I do taht.
            Then I aswer to install over nfs and if ask me the driver. When
    I choose them they are loaded successfully and it can mount nfs
    repository where the linux source are. But it fails with the following
    error:
            The anaconda installation tree in that directory doesn't seem to
    match your boot media.

            If I swith the screen with Alt-F3, I see that:
     * mounted IP:/space/rhel3as on /mnt/source
     * can access stage2.img
     * mntloop loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /mnt/source/RedHat/base/stage2.img
    fs is 17
     * unmounting loopback /mnt/runtime loop0
     * after mountStage2, rc is -1
     * not the right one

            PS: The Distribution is RedHat Enterprise 3 Update 2.

            Does any body know where I am wrong ??

    Thanks in advance
