Virt-install'ing Rocky with location url & kickstart not working
by Jos Vos 01 May '23

01 May '23

Hi, With CentOS I’m used to install VM’s using kickstart without local media (e.g. a boot iso) with a command like: virt-install ... -location "http://..../9-stream/BaseOS/x86_64/os/" \ --initrd-inject ks.cfg --extra-args="inst.ks=file:///ks.cfg" When I try a similar command with Rocky Linux (I tried both .../os/ and .../kickstart/ in the URL paths) it loads vmlinuz and initrd.img, but it fails later: for version 8 and 9 different things happen (timeouts in 8 and endless loops in 9). Is there a way to achieve a virt-install with kickstart (and without downloading and mounting stuff)?

How to configure equal cost multi-path routing with NetworkManager?
by Uwe Sauter 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Hi folks, With CentOS 7/Rocky 8 and "network-scripts" I was able to configure static routes using "equal cost multi-path" (ECMP) routing. /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth0 would contain a line like 172.16.0.0/16 nexthop via 192.168.1.250 nexthop via 192.168.1.251 which would then look like: # ip r default via 192.168.1.254 dev eth0 172.16.0.0/16 nexthop via 192.168.1.250 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.1.251 dev eth0 weight 1 It seems that the NetworkManager keyfile format is not able to handle that situation. How can I configure static ECMP routes with Rocky 8/9 and NetworkManager? Thanks, Uwe

Mentioning exactly the model of the CPU you're trying to install on would get you a much more accurate answer.

No sir, it’s a requirement for the libc version the kernel is built on and is part of the OS.
