I am in a bit of trouble in regards to an kickstart installation and this is done via net install and is running on VMWARE sphere.

All systems have as well been updated and upgraded to the latest kernel

The image is gathered via an file server. But upon running the kickstart installation. I am recieving the following error:

kickstart file /run/install/ks.cfg missing 

Kickstart

15:31:39,508 ERR anaconda.stdout: Kickstart file /run/install/ks.cfg is missing 

Checking NGINX logs serverside on the fileserver storing the kickstart configuration. There is requests recieved but, presented with an error code of 304.

Down below NGINX logs can be seen:

10.204.11.124 - - [26/Feb/2019:12:54:41 +0100] "GET /template.ks HTTP/1.1" 304 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.100 Safari/537.36" "-"

Down below is my kickstart config as well:

The issue was solved!

Due to vmware remote console not supporting a swedish keymap.

In the following line:

inst.ks=http;//10.204.11.10/ks.ks

We can see that there is a semicolon

;

instead of an double dot

:

On vmware remote console. both of these looked the same. Changing it, made it all work.

Genuine and first world misstakes. Thank you for youre time reading this.
