Description Tim Niemueller 2013-12-20 14:30:57 UTC

Description of problem:
Even if the reboot keyword is set in the kickstart file Anaconda does not restart after installation but sits there and waits for clicking "Reboot".

I have enabled the following options:
install
url --url=...
graphical
vnc --password=...
reboot

Kickstart is loaded via HTTP.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-20.25.15-1.fc20.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use kickstart file with reboot flag
2. Perform installation, notice the missing automatic reboot

Actual results:
No reboot at end of installation.

Expected results:
Reboot at end of installation.

Can you post the rest of the kickstart (with passwords and any other personal data removed) and the log files from /tmp? Does the installation complete without interaction, or did you have to answer questions to continue?

Hi. Sorry, lost track of this bug. Yes, due to bug #1045115 I had to interactively choose the keyboard (or rather confirm it). Is that the reason why the reboot is not executed?

Comment 3 David Shea 2014-03-03 23:01:55 UTC

From the kickstart you posted in bug 1045115, there's a halt command after the keyboard layout. That's overriding the reboot command and having the installer halt and wait for input at the end. Remove that line and it should work fine (except for the keyboard issue).
