Hi,
I'm searching for an option to make kickstart rebooting the installed server automatically without ejecting the cd. For some reason the option "reboot" in ks.cfg automatically ejects the cdrom which is something I really don't want. Any ideas hwo to achieve this?
Thanks, Thoralf

Isn't that reason logical? If it wouldn't eject the CD, it would boot the installation CD again i.s.o. the installed system, which is what "reboot" is meant for, I guess...

maybe for some systems it's logical - for mine it isn't. i change the boot order while installing the system and want to keep the cd in drive because i do not have access to that server to reload the drive. i simply want to reboot - nothing else.
why isn't there an option "eject" to make ks eject the cdrom? why is reboot automatically ejecting the drive?

IIRC the CD is always ejected when the system is rebooted after the install, also if you click on "reboot" manually (that is, ejecting the CD is not specifically related to the "reboot" kickstart command).
This does not happen (IIRC) when the install was a network install and the CD is boot.iso, which is what *I* found annoying ;-).
Maybe you can overrule this in an own installclass, I don't know, but the Anaconda Python code is pretty readable ;-).
