I want to setup some brand new servers with RHEL 6.4. Servers do not have DVD, so, I have to use USB for the installation.
I already have a custom ISO with a kickstart file that I use on servers with DVD flawlessly. I used iso2usb to move the ISO t? my USB.
When I boot from the USB, the ks file is found, anaconda starts, but then stops with the following error:
"The installation source given by device ['sda1'] could not be found. Please check your parameters and try again"
Notes:
The USB IS the sda.
My custom ISO file is renamed to linux.iso from iso2usb and it is present in the root directory of the USB.
Kickstart file has the following entry:
harddrive --partition=sda1 --dir=/
Please help me to automate the installation with kickstart.
Edit 1:
This the anaconda.log file:
