Red Hat Linux Scripted Install Fails With "Unable to download kickstart file" Or "Choose a Language" At The Target
Article: 20000051
Applies to: Release 6.x
The installation process was unable to read the specified kickstart file.
Several possible causes are:
| • |
The path to the kickstart file is incorrect. The IP address is not valid or
the fully-qualified FTP server hostname cannot be resolved by a DNS server.
The kickstart folder or file name does not exist. These values are
setup in the Run Script - Configure Boot Environment task.
|
| • |
The lib Virtual Directory on the FTP server is not
accessible or the Local Path is not <InstallPath>\eXpress\Deployment Server.
The FTP Publishing Service Startup Type should be Automatic.
|
| • |
A firewall is enabled on the FTP Server and is blocking access to the appropriate ports.
|
| • |
The switch port connected to the PXE NIC is running Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). This can
cause a timeout before a response can be given.
