Re: [Xen-users] vm ignores kickstart
Hi Nuno,
Yes, I tried with the GUI as well, specifying the same kickstart file and source. I was still guided through the entire installation process. Thanks for your suggestion though, any other ideas?

Hi Kyle
Did you tried to used the GUI version of the program (virt-manager) to
see if you get the same problem?
Once a tried to install a domU on a dom0 SL51 x86 using the virt-manager
(from the official repository), and in the final I was not able to
connect to the network. Then I tried virt-install, using the same
mirror, ..., and tthe final domU was ok. What I'm pointing out here is
that the same program (command-line vs gui) had different outputs.
Cheers,
Nuno
