Hi,

have for a long time used a setup to use kickstart over PXE. The "netboot-f=
ile" responsible for starting kickstart has the following contents:

default linux
serial 0,9600n8
label linux
kernel vmlinuz-centos73
append console=3Dtty0 initrd=3Dinitrd-centos73.img ks=3D<http://192.168.0.1=
98/kickstart/ks-centos73.cfg>

However, when I apply this on CentOS-7.4 (after changing image and kernel) =
it hangs on "switchroot":

"... specified switch root path /sysroot does not seem to be an OS tree. os=
-release file is missing."

Any hints on what may be causing this are greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

/jon
