I've been playing with a newly created kickstart server I setup and noticed a problem with my config. On the kickstart server I took the CentOS DVD iso and mounted it as a filesystem. My kickstart file of course gets the binaries via nfs from that mounted file system. When I kick a machine, it seems to work perfectly until the very last package installs 100%. At that point a bunch of stuff (looks like path names) spews to the screen and it just hangs. If I reboot, I go into grub and cannot boot the system.
After some experimentation i've figured out it's the mounting of the DVD iso as a file system that seems to cause the issue. If I copy the contents of the iso to a directory via "cp -a" and have it pull the binaries from there, the problem goes away.
Not a huge deal but anyone know or have any theories why mounting the iso as a file system doesn't work in this application?
