[foreman-users] Does the default kickstart has something wrong? I have met a mistake when provisioning CentOS7.

[Xudong Li]

Hello, Friends

I have set up provison mode correctly, And I want to install Centos7 on
VMware.

Everything seems to be OK, I New a Host and The DHCP, TFTP is also work
well, But Every time, It blocked on the install,

The kickstart is default and I didn't changed anything about it.

I suspect does the ks file has something wrong?

The ks file contents:

<%#
kind: provision
name: Kickstart default
oses:
- CentOS 4
- CentOS 5
- CentOS 6
- CentOS 7
- Fedora 16
- Fedora 17
- Fedora 18
- Fedora 19
- Fedora 20
%>
<%#
This template accepts the following parameters:
- lang: string (default="en_US.UTF-8")
- keyboard: string (default="us")
- time-zone: string (default="UTC")

- force-puppet: boolean (default=false)

Thank you for give me some advice!

Your installation media is not correct.

Check your Media assignment if the repositories available via http
correctly.
