RE: How to get a shell when kickstart install fails/hangs

Thank you Kevin and Dewey. Alt-F2 worked. I had to do another little bit of figuring out to send that command through Proliant’s iLO interface by configuring hotkeys.

You need to be installing in ‘text’ mode to make that work.

Alt-F2 will get you to a prompt.

I have been experimenting with some kickstart files to automate installs (it also includes Cobbler snippets). But I get failures about errors in kickstart files when Anaconda launches. I want to get a shell to troubleshoot the problem. How do I do that? Right now I have a screen that says:

The system will be rebooted when you press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+Alt+Del.

The message also says that the Anaconda version is 13.21.149. I’m trying to install RHEL 6.2 Server.

Thanks
