build using kickstarter fails
Posted: 25 Jan 2018 14:23
Hi
I'm new here and wanted to install efa appliance on my home server.
I try the kickstarter build method as I intend to run the appliance in KVM+Qemu.
When CentOS installation ISO is booted with the ks= parameter, it creates all required partitions and then stops with the error
Unable to read package metadata.
Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda-CentOS-201703281317.x86_64.
I checked the kickstarter file and found that it uses http://centos.mirrors.efa-project.org/6/os/x86_64/ as repository however when manually trying to browse to that URL I'm prompted for a username/password which I don't find in the kickstarter file..
Also for some reason keyboard input on the machine doesn't seem to work as soon as Linux is started from the ISO hence I can't edit the repository to another centos mirror.
Is it normal that the repository is password protected? And what can I do to try to fix the installation?
