That's encouraging, what method do you use to create your USB stick installs? Combination of fdisk, dd, and file copying? -Larry _____________________________ From: Loren Tedford <lorentedford@gmail.com> Sent: Dienstag, September 8, 2015 1:55 nachm.

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. -Larry On Tue, Sep 8, 2015 at 2:46 AM -0700, "Loren Tedford" <lorentedford@gmail.com> wrote: I know it sounds far fetched but it almost sounds like a corrupt ISO image..

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 <http://dl.allstarlink.org/> http://dl.allstarlink.org 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 fix zaptel http://docs.allstarlink.org/drupal/node/111 _____ From: app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org [mailto:app_rpt-users-bounces@ohnosec.org] On Behalf Of Larry da Ponte Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2015 6:26 AM To: Loren Tedford; app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] New Acid install - kickstart download fail from USB That's encouraging, what method do you use to create your USB stick installs?
