These are the boot options that are useful when starting Anaconda. For more
|
|
information refer to the appropriate Installation Guide for your release and
|
|
to the |anacondawiki|_.
|
|
|
|
Anaconda bootup is handled by dracut, so most of the kernel arguments handled
|
|
by dracut are also valid. See |dracutkernel|_ for details on those options.
|
|
|
|
Throughout this guide, installer-specific options are prefixed with
|
|
``inst`` (e.g. ``inst.ks``). Options specified without the ``inst`` prefix are
|
|
recognized, but the prefix may be required in a future release.
|
|
|
|
.. _repo:
|
|
|
|
Installation Source
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
An *installable tree* is a directory structure containing installer
|
|
images, packages, and repodata. [#tree]_
|
|
|
|
Usually this is either a copy of the DVD media (or loopback-mounted DVD
|
|
image), or the ``<arch>/os/`` directory on the Fedora mirrors.
|
|
|
|
.. [#tree] an installable tree must contain a valid `.treeinfo` file
|
|
for ``inst.repo`` or ``inst.stage2`` to work.
|
|
|
|
.. _inst.repo:
|
|
|
|
inst.repo
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This gives the location of the *Install Source* - that is, the place where the
|
|
installer can find its images and packages. It can be specified in a few
|
|
different ways:
|
|
|
|
``inst.repo=cdrom``
|
|
Search the system's CDROM drives for installer media. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
``inst.repo=cdrom:<device>``
|
|
Look for installer media in the specified disk device.
|
|
|
|
``inst.repo=hd:<device>:<path>``
|
|
Mount the given disk partition and install from ISO file on the given path.
|
|
This installation method requires ISO file, which contains an installable tree.
|
|
|
|
``inst.repo=[http,https,ftp]://<host>/<path>``
|
|
Look for an installable tree at the given URL.
|
|
|
|
``inst.repo=nfs:[<options>:]<server>:/<path>``
|
|
Mount the given NFS server and path. Uses NFS version **3** by default.
|
|
|
|
You can specify what version of the NFS protocol to use by adding ``nfsvers=X``
|
|
to the `options`.
|
|
|
|
This accepts not just an installable tree directory in the ``<path>`` element,
|
|
but you can also specify an ``.iso`` file. That ISO file is then mounted and
|
|
used as the installation tree. This is often used for simulating a standard
|
|
DVD installation using a remote ``DVD.iso`` image.
|
|
|
|
.. _diskdev:
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
Disk devices may be specified with any of the following forms:
|
|
|
|
Kernel Device Name
|
|
``/dev/sda1``, ``sdb2``
|
|
|
|
Filesystem Label
|
|
``LABEL=FLASH``, ``LABEL=Fedora``, ``CDLABEL=Fedora\x2023\x20x86_64``
|
|
|
|
Filesystem UUID
|
|
``UUID=8176c7bf-04ff-403a-a832-9557f94e61db``
|
|
|
|
Non-alphanumeric characters should be escaped with ``\xNN``, where
|
|
'NN' is the hexidecimal representation of the character (e.g. ``\x20`` for
|
|
the space character (' ').
|
|
|
|
.. inst.noverifyssl:
|
|
|
|
inst.noverifyssl
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Prevents Anaconda from verifying the ssl certificate for all HTTPS connections
|
|
with an exception of the additional kickstart repos (where --noverifyssl can be
|
|
set per repo).
|
|
|
|
.. inst.proxy:
|
|
|
|
inst.proxy
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
``inst.proxy=PROXY_URL``
|
|
|
|
Use the given proxy settings when performing an installation from a
|
|
HTTP/HTTPS/FTP source. The ``PROXY_URL`` can be specified like this:
|
|
``[PROTOCOL://][USERNAME[:PASSWORD]@]HOST[:PORT]``.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.stage2:
|
|
|
|
inst.stage2
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This specifies the location to fetch only the installer runtime image;
|
|
packages will be ignored. Otherwise the same as `inst.repo`_.
|
|
|
|
inst.dd
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This specifies the location for driver rpms. May be specified multiple times.
|
|
Locations may be specified using any of the formats allowed for
|
|
`inst.repo`_.
|
|
|
|
inst.multilib
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This sets dnf's multilib_policy to "all" (as opposed to "best").
|
|
|
|
.. kickstart:
|
|
|
|
Kickstart
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
.. inst.ks:
|
|
|
|
inst.ks
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Give the location of a kickstart file to be used to automate the install.
|
|
Locations may be specified using any of the formats allowed for `inst.repo`_.
|
|
|
|
For any format the ``<path>`` component defaults to ``/ks.cfg`` if it is omitted.
|
|
|
|
For NFS kickstarts, if the ``<path>`` ends in ``/``, ``<ip>-kickstart`` is added.
|
|
|
|
If ``inst.ks`` is used without a value, the installer will look for
|
|
``nfs:<next_server>:/<filename>``
|
|
|
|
* ``<next_server>`` is the DHCP "next-server" option, or the IP of the DHCP server itself
|
|
* ``<filename>`` is the DHCP "filename" option, or ``/kickstart/``, and
|
|
if the filename given ends in ``/``, ``<ip>-kickstart`` is added (as above)
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
* DHCP server: ``192.168.122.1``
|
|
* client address: ``192.168.122.100``
|
|
* kickstart file: ``nfs:192.168.122.1:/kickstart/192.168.122.100-kickstart``
|
|
|
|
.. inst.ks.sendmac:
|
|
|
|
inst.ks.sendmac
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Add headers to outgoing HTTP requests which include the MAC addresses of all
|
|
network interfaces. The header is of the form:
|
|
|
|
* ``X-RHN-Provisioning-MAC-0: eth0 01:23:45:67:89:ab``
|
|
|
|
This is helpful when using ``inst.ks=http...`` to provision systems.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.ks.sendsn:
|
|
|
|
inst.ks.sendsn
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Add a header to outgoing HTTP requests which includes the system's serial
|
|
number. [#serial]_
|
|
|
|
The header is of the form:
|
|
|
|
* ``X-System-Serial-Number: <serial>``
|
|
|
|
.. [#serial] as read from ``/sys/class/dmi/id/product_serial``
|
|
|
|
Network Options
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Initial network setup is handled by dracut. For detailed information consult
|
|
|dracutnet|.
|
|
|
|
The most common dracut network options are covered here, along with some
|
|
installer-specific options.
|
|
|
|
.. ip:
|
|
|
|
ip
|
|
^^
|
|
|
|
Configure one (or more) network interfaces. You can use multiple ``ip``
|
|
arguments to configure multiple interfaces, but if you do you must specify an
|
|
interface for every ``ip=`` argument, and you must specify which interface
|
|
is the primary boot interface with `bootdev`_.
|
|
|
|
Accepts a few different forms; the most common are:
|
|
|
|
.. ip=ibft:
|
|
|
|
``ip=<dhcp|dhcp6|auto6|ibft>``
|
|
Try to bring up every interface using the given autoconf method. Defaults
|
|
to ``ip=dhcp`` if network is required by ``inst.repo``, ``inst.ks``, ``inst.updates``,
|
|
etc.
|
|
|
|
``ip=<interface>:<autoconf>``
|
|
Bring up only one interface using the given autoconf method, e.g.
|
|
``ip=eth0:dhcp``.
|
|
|
|
``ip=<ip>::<gateway>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<interface>:none``
|
|
Bring up the given interface with a static network config, where:
|
|
|
|
``<ip>``
|
|
The client IP address. IPv6 addresses may be specified by putting
|
|
them in square brackets, like so: ``[2001:DB8::1]``.
|
|
|
|
``<gateway>``
|
|
The default gateway. IPv6 addresses are accepted here too.
|
|
|
|
``<netmask>``
|
|
The netmask (e.g. ``255.255.255.0``) or prefix (e.g. ``64``).
|
|
|
|
``<hostname>``
|
|
Hostname for the client machine. This component is optional.
|
|
|
|
``ip=<ip>::<gateway>:<netmask>:<hostname>:<interface>:<autoconf>:<mtu>``
|
|
Bring up the given interface with the given autoconf method, but override the
|
|
automatically obtained IP/gateway/etc. with the provided values.
|
|
|
|
Technically all of the items are optional, so if you want to use dhcp but also
|
|
set a hostname you can use ``ip=::::<hostname>::dhcp``.
|
|
|
|
.. nameserver:
|
|
|
|
nameserver
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Specify the address of a nameserver to use. May be used multiple times.
|
|
|
|
.. bootdev:
|
|
|
|
bootdev
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Specify which interface is the boot device. Required if multiple ``ip=``
|
|
options are used.
|
|
|
|
.. ifname:
|
|
|
|
ifname
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
``ifname=<interface>:<MAC>``
|
|
Assign the given interface name to the network device with the given MAC. May
|
|
be used multiple times.
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
|
|
Dracut applies ifname option (which might involve renaming the device with
|
|
given MAC) in initramfs only if the device is activated in initramfs stage
|
|
(based on ip= option). If it is not the case, installer still binds the
|
|
current device name to the MAC by adding HWADDR setting to the ifcfg file of
|
|
the device.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.dhcpclass:
|
|
|
|
inst.dhcpclass
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Set the DHCP vendor class identifier [#dhcpd]. Defaults to ``anaconda-$(uname -srm)``.
|
|
|
|
.. [#dhcpd] ISC ``dhcpd`` will see this value as "option vendor-class-identifier".
|
|
|
|
Console / Display Options
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. console:
|
|
|
|
console
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This is a kernel option that specifies what device to use as the primary
|
|
console. For example, if your console should be on the first serial port, use
|
|
``console=ttyS0``.
|
|
|
|
You can use multiple ``console=`` options; boot messages will be displayed on
|
|
all consoles, but anaconda will put its display on the last console listed.
|
|
|
|
Implies `inst.text`_.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.lang:
|
|
|
|
inst.lang
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Set the language to be used during installation. The language specified must
|
|
be valid for the ``lang`` kickstart command.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. inst.singlelang:
|
|
|
|
inst.singlelang
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Install in single language mode - no interactive options for installation language
|
|
and language support configuration will be available.
|
|
If a language has been specified via the `inst.lang`_ boot option
|
|
or the `lang` kickstart command it will be used.
|
|
If no language is specified Anaconda will default to en_US.UTF-8.
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
Atomic installations always run in single language mode.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.geoloc:
|
|
|
|
inst.geoloc
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Configure geolocation usage in Anaconda. Geolocation is used to pre-set
|
|
language and time zone.
|
|
|
|
``inst.geoloc=0``
|
|
Disables geolocation.
|
|
|
|
``inst.geoloc=provider_fedora_geoip``
|
|
Use the Fedora GeoIP API (default).
|
|
|
|
``inst.geoloc=provider_hostip``
|
|
Use the Hostip.info GeoIP API.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.keymap:
|
|
|
|
inst.keymap
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Set the keyboard layout to use. The layout specified must be valid for use with
|
|
the ``keyboard`` kickstart command.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.cmdline:
|
|
|
|
inst.cmdline
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Run the installer in command-line mode. This mode does not
|
|
allow any interaction; all options must be specified in a kickstart file or
|
|
on the command line.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.graphical:
|
|
|
|
inst.graphical
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Run the installer in graphical mode. This is the default.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.text:
|
|
|
|
inst.text
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Run the installer using a limited text-based UI. Unless you're using a
|
|
kickstart file this probably isn't a good idea; you should use VNC instead.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.resolution:
|
|
|
|
inst.resolution
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Specify screen size for the installer. Use format nxm, where n is the
|
|
number of horizontal pixels, m the number of vertical pixels. The lowest
|
|
supported resolution is 800x600.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.vnc:
|
|
|
|
inst.vnc
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Run the installer GUI in a VNC session. You will need a VNC client application
|
|
to interact with the installer. VNC sharing is enabled, so multiple clients
|
|
may connect.
|
|
|
|
A system installed with VNC will start in text mode (runlevel 3).
|
|
|
|
.. inst.vncpassword:
|
|
|
|
inst.vncpassword
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Set a password on the VNC server used by the installer.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.vncconnect:
|
|
|
|
inst.vncconnect
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
``inst.vncconnect=<host>[:<port>]``
|
|
Once the install starts, connect to a listening VNC client at the given host.
|
|
Default port is 5900.
|
|
|
|
Use with ``vncviewer -listen``.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.headless:
|
|
|
|
inst.headless
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Specify that the machine being installed onto doesn't have any display
|
|
hardware, and that anaconda shouldn't bother looking for it.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.xdriver:
|
|
|
|
inst.xdriver
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Specify the X driver that should be used during installation and on the
|
|
installed system.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.usefbx
|
|
|
|
inst.usefbx
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Use the framebuffer X driver (``fbdev``) rather than a hardware-specific driver.
|
|
|
|
Equivalent to ``inst.xdriver=fbdev``.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.sshd:
|
|
|
|
inst.sshd
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Start up ``sshd`` during system installation. You can then ssh in while the
|
|
installation progresses to debug or monitor its progress.
|
|
|
|
.. CAUTION::
|
|
The ``root`` account has no password by default. You can set one using
|
|
the ``sshpw`` kickstart command.
|
|
|
|
Debugging and Troubleshooting
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
.. inst.rescue:
|
|
|
|
inst.rescue
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Run the rescue environment. This is useful for trying to diagnose and fix
|
|
broken systems.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.updates:
|
|
|
|
inst.updates
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Give the location of an ``updates.img`` to be applied to the installer runtime.
|
|
Locations may be specified using any of the formats allowed for ``inst.repo``.
|
|
|
|
For any format the ``<path>`` component defaults to ``/updates.img`` if it is
|
|
omitted.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.nokill:
|
|
|
|
inst.nokill
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
A debugging option that prevents anaconda from and rebooting when a fatal error
|
|
occurs or at the end of the installation process.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.loglevel:
|
|
|
|
inst.loglevel
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
``inst.loglevel=<debug|info|warning|error|critical>``
|
|
Set the minimum level required for messages to be logged on a terminal (log
|
|
files always contain messages of all levels). The default value is ``info``.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.noshell:
|
|
|
|
inst.noshell
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Do not put a shell on tty2 during install.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.syslog:
|
|
|
|
inst.syslog
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
``inst.syslog=<host>[:<port>]``
|
|
Once installation is running, send log messages to the syslog process on
|
|
the given host. The default port is 514 (UDP).
|
|
|
|
Requires the remote syslog process to accept incoming connections.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.virtiolog:
|
|
|
|
inst.virtiolog
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Forward logs through the named virtio port (a character device at
|
|
``/dev/virtio-ports/<name>``).
|
|
|
|
If not provided, a port named ``org.fedoraproject.anaconda.log.0``
|
|
will be used by default, if found.
|
|
|
|
See the |anacondalogging|_ for more info on setting up logging via virtio.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.zram:
|
|
|
|
inst.zram
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Forces/disables (on/off) usage of zRAM swap for the installation process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Boot loader options
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
.. extlinux:
|
|
|
|
extlinux
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Use extlinux as the bootloader. Note that there's no attempt to validate that
|
|
this will work for your platform or anything; it assumes that if you ask for it,
|
|
you want to try.
|
|
|
|
.. leavebootorder:
|
|
|
|
leavebootorder
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Boot the drives in their existing order, to override the default of booting into
|
|
the newly installed drive on Power Systems servers and EFI systems. This is
|
|
useful for systems that, for example, should network boot first before falling
|
|
back to a local boot.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Storage options
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
.. inst.nodmraid:
|
|
|
|
inst.nodmraid
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Disable support for dmraid.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: This option is never a good idea! If you have a disk that is
|
|
erroneously identified as part of a firmware RAID array, that means
|
|
it has some stale RAID metadata on it which must be removed using
|
|
an appropriate tool (dmraid and/or wipefs).
|
|
|
|
.. inst.nompath:
|
|
|
|
inst.nompath
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Disable support for multipath devices. This is for systems on which a
|
|
false-positive is encountered which erroneously identifies a normal block device
|
|
as a multipath device. There is no other reason to use this option.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Not for use with actual multipath hardware! Using this to attempt
|
|
to install to a single path of a multipath is ill-advised, and not
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.gpt:
|
|
|
|
inst.gpt
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Prefer creation of GPT disklabels.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other options
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
.. inst.selinux:
|
|
|
|
inst.selinux
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Enable SELinux usage in the installed system (default). Note that when used as a
|
|
boot option, "selinux" and "inst.selinux" are not the same. The "selinux" option
|
|
is picked up by both the kernel and Anaconda, but "inst.selinux" is processed
|
|
only by Anaconda. So when "selinux=0" is used, SELinux will be disabled both in
|
|
the installation environment and in the installed system, but when
|
|
"inst.selinux=0" is used SELinux will only be disabled in the installed system.
|
|
Also note that while SELinux is running in the installation environment by
|
|
default, it is running in permissive mode so disabling it there does not make
|
|
much sense.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.nosave
|
|
|
|
inst.nosave
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Controls what installation results should not be saved to the installed system,
|
|
valid values are: "input_ks", "output_ks", "all_ks", "logs" and "all".
|
|
|
|
``input_ks``
|
|
Disables saving of the input kickstart (if any).
|
|
|
|
``output_ks``
|
|
Disables saving of the output kickstart generated by Anaconda.
|
|
|
|
``all_ks``
|
|
Disables saving of both input and output kickstarts.
|
|
|
|
``logs``
|
|
Disables saving of all installation logs.
|
|
|
|
``all``
|
|
Disables saving of all kickstarts and all logs.
|
|
|
|
Multiple values can be combined as a comma separated list, for example: ``input_ks,logs``
|
|
|
|
.. NOTE::
|
|
The nosave option is meant for excluding files from the installed system that *can't*
|
|
be removed by a kickstart %post script, such as logs and input/output kickstarts.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Third-party options
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Since Fedora 19 the Anaconda installer supports third-party extensions called
|
|
*addons*. The *addons* can support their own set of boot options which should be
|
|
documented in their documentation or submitted here.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.kdump:
|
|
|
|
inst.kdump
|
|
++++++++++
|
|
|
|
``inst.kdump_addon=on/off``
|
|
|
|
Enable kdump anaconda addon to setup the kdump service.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Deprecated Options
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
These options should still be accepted by the installer, but they are
|
|
deprecated and may be removed soon.
|
|
|
|
.. method:
|
|
|
|
method
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This is an alias for `inst.repo`_.
|
|
|
|
repo=nfsiso:...
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
The difference between an installable tree and a dir with an ``.iso`` file is
|
|
autodetected, so this is the same as ``inst.repo=nfs:``...
|
|
|
|
.. dns:
|
|
|
|
dns
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
Use `nameserver`_ instead. Note that ``nameserver`` does not
|
|
accept comma-separated lists; use multiple ``nameserver`` options instead.
|
|
|
|
.. netmask:
|
|
.. gateway:
|
|
.. hostname:
|
|
|
|
netmask, gateway, hostname
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
These can be provided as part of the `ip`_ option.
|
|
|
|
ip=bootif
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
A PXE-supplied BOOTIF option will be used automatically, so there's no need
|
|
|
|
.. ksdevice:
|
|
|
|
ksdevice
|
|
^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
*Not present*
|
|
The first device with a usable link is used
|
|
|
|
``ksdevice=link``
|
|
Ignored (this is the same as the default behavior)
|
|
|
|
``ksdevice=bootif``
|
|
Ignored (this is the default if ``BOOTIF=`` is present)
|
|
|
|
``ksdevice=ibft``
|
|
Replaced with ``ip=ibft``. See `ip`_
|
|
|
|
``ksdevice=<MAC>``
|
|
Replaced with ``BOOTIF=${MAC/:/-}``
|
|
|
|
``ksdevice=<DEV>``
|
|
Replaced with `bootdev`_
|
|
|
|
Removed Options
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
These options are obsolete and have been removed.
|
|
|
|
.. askmethod:
|
|
.. asknetwork:
|
|
|
|
askmethod, asknetwork
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
Anaconda's initramfs is now is completely non-interactive, so these have been
|
|
removed.
|
|
|
|
Instead, use `inst.repo`_ or specify appropriate `Network Options`_.
|
|
|
|
.. serial:
|
|
|
|
.. blacklist:
|
|
.. nofirewire:
|
|
|
|
blacklist, nofirewire
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
``modprobe`` handles blacklisting kernel modules on its own; try
|
|
``modprobe.blacklist=<mod1>,<mod2>...``
|
|
|
|
You can blacklist the firewire module with ``modprobe.blacklist=firewire_ohci``.
|
|
|
|
serial
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
This option was never intended for public use; it was supposed to be used to
|
|
force anaconda to use ``/dev/ttyS0`` as its console when testing it on a live
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
Use ``console=ttyS0`` or similar instead. See `console`_ for details.
|
|
|
|
.. updates:
|
|
|
|
updates
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Use `inst.updates`_ instead.
|
|
|
|
.. essid:
|
|
.. wepkey:
|
|
.. wpakey:
|
|
|
|
essid, wepkey, wpakey
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Dracut doesn't support wireless networking, so these don't do anything.
|
|
|
|
.. ethtool:
|
|
|
|
ethtool
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Who needs to force half-duplex 10-base-T anymore?
|
|
|
|
.. gdb:
|
|
|
|
gdb
|
|
^^^
|
|
|
|
This was used to debug ``loader``, so it has been removed. There are plenty of
|
|
options for debugging dracut-based initramfs - see the |dracutdebug|.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.mediacheck:
|
|
|
|
inst.mediacheck
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Use the dracut option rd.live.check instead.
|
|
|
|
ks=floppy
|
|
^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
We no longer support floppy drives. Try ``inst.ks=hd:<device>`` instead.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.display:
|
|
|
|
display
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
For remote display of the UI, use `inst.vnc`_.
|
|
|
|
.. utf8:
|
|
|
|
utf8
|
|
^^^^
|
|
|
|
All this option actually did was set ``TERM=vt100``. The default ``TERM`` setting
|
|
works fine these days, so this was no longer necessary.
|
|
|
|
.. noipv6:
|
|
|
|
noipv6
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
ipv6 is built into the kernel and can't be removed by anaconda.
|
|
|
|
You can disable ipv6 with ``ipv6.disable=1``. This setting will be carried onto
|
|
the installed system.
|
|
|
|
.. upgradeany:
|
|
|
|
upgradeany
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Anaconda doesn't handle upgrades anymore.
|
|
|
|
.. inst.repo for installable tree:
|
|
|
|
inst.repo=hd:<device>:<path> for installable tree
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Anaconda can't use this option with installable tree but only with an ISO file.
|
