Packer Kickstart Problem

My Kickstart file isn’t working!

I ran into an issue with Packer when building a template for Centos7. I was following every online example or template I could find, with no success.
There were no errors thrown during installation, but the kickstart file didn’t appear to be doing anything.

Problem:

The Kickstart file was being ignored.

Every Packer example I could find used .cfg and looked something like this:
"boot_command": ["<tab> text ks=http://:/ks.cfg<enter><wait>"]

or:
"boot_command": ["<esc><wait>linux inst.ks=hd:fd0:/kickstart.cfg<enter>"]

Solution:

The Centos7 Docs examples all use .ks extension so I switched from .cfg to .ks and it worked perfectly.

"boot_command": [ "<esc>", "<wait>", "linux inst.ks=hd:fd0:/kickstart.ks", "<enter>" ]
