ACID install sets the device to the CDROM.
The files are located at http://stats.allstarlink.org/dl/installcd/
I found it easier to use a USB CDROM to
boot the ACID build than it is to modify the files, but then again, I'm
somewhat of a newbie. I have loaded Centos 5, which from what you say, you
could load from the stick, then I setup SSH, and go from there, loading in the
rest of the load scripts required for ACID on the new server, making minor
modifications so they could find their directory, then executing them on the
new server. I found this necessary when the new computer did not have the
drivers for Ethernet, then continuing the ACID boot process.
This is the procedure I use... piece parts
gleaned from various Allstar contributors... a bit manual in nature, but it
works.
Load CentOS 5.10
No features, tools only, no
desktop
Set ssh /etc/ssh/sshd_config
Run "setup" at
comand line and disable firewall
vi /etc/rc.d/acidrepo
Execute portion of ks.cfg,
each line at a time
cp
/etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local.orig
cat
<<EOF >>/etc/rc.d/rc.local
cd
/etc/rc.d; rm -f phase1.sh; wget -q
http://dl.allstarlink.org/installcd/phase1.sh
chmod
755 /etc/rc.d/phase1.sh
/etc/rc.d/phase1.sh
Auto reboot after phase1.sh
executed
if desired, setup firewall,
"setup" at command line
perform a yum update:
"yum update" at command line

Acid install - kickstart download fail from USB
That's encouraging, what
method do you use to create your USB stick installs? Combination of
fdisk, dd, and file copying?

Thanks Loren. This
is interesting, looking over the site I see it's for creating live Linux
installs that run from a USB stick, I'm trying to create installation media on
a USB stick that will install to an SSD in the PC. Once the installation
is complete, I would no longer need the USB stick.

I'm not
sure with Windows you might try this http://unetbootin.github.io

I used the windows Rufus app to create the bootable USB stick from the
acid_centos.iso. I'm thinking this may be the trouble. I will
probably need to find another method for creating the USB stick.
Recommendations for a procedure that has worked for the Acid ISO?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply
Loren. The same iso file installs without error when installed on a new
VM. Have you had success with a USB thumb drive install? Perhaps
Acid install from USB is not supported.

I know it
sounds far fetched but it almost sounds like a corrupt ISO image..

First time AllStar user and node setup. I have a small form
factor PC with no CD ROM or floppy. I've created a Acid Centos install on
a USB stick but after it successfully boots from the stick and status the
install it complains it can't find the kickstart file and then prompts me for
cdrom. I've confirmed the ks.cfg is in /Dev/sdb1:/ks.cfg but even with
kickstart boot options it fails to find it. Same PC installs Centos 7
from same USB stick without issue. I've used the Centos Wiki page To
create a USB stick install using the Centos-5 section but this method rests in
a USB key that is not recognized by eufi as bootable. I'm using an
acid_centos.iso downloaded a couple of days ago from the AllStar home page.
I have not tried putting the ks.cfg on an FTP or web server yet -
anyone have success with Acid install from stick?
I also burned the ISO to a CD and booted from a USB CD ROM drive but it
also fails to "download" the kickstart - exact experience as USB
key. Have tried all three of the USB ports on this PC. Have also
tried two different USB sticks.
