<html><head></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">I'm trying to automate the installation of my Ubuntu workstation images using kickstart but I seem to be missing something because when I boot off of the ISO I've created it only boots to the initramfs prompt and won't go any further. I'm not using PXE boot for this, I simply wanted to automate the process of answering the install questions automagically and using a local mirror for packages instead of having to update manually after installation completes. Any help figuring out where I've gone wrong would be greatly appreciated. This is my first kickstart file under Ubuntu.<div><br></div><div>My ks.cfg file is below:<div><br></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>install</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>reboot</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>text</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>lang en_US.UTF-8</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>url --url <a href="http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/ubuntu/">http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/ubuntu/</a></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>keyboard us</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>root --disabled</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>user adminuser --fullname "Admin User" --iscrypted MY3ncryptedP@sswordLOLOLOL</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>authconfig --enabledsahdow --enabledmd5</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>timezone --utc America/New_York</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>bootloader --location=mbr --append="quiet" --md5pass MY@ws0megrubp@55!</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>%packages</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>@ openssh-server</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>@ print-server</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>@ ubuntu-desktop</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>libnss-ldapd</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>libpam-ldapd</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>nss-updatedb</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>libnss-db</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>libpam-ccreds</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>nslcd</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>nscd</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>%pre</div><div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>%post</div><div><br></div><div><div>
