As I just discovered, I can do a tui (text) install ... just not one which involves a kickstart ("ks=http://").
The loop is probably from anaconda attempting to prompt you for input after a crash but being unable to. I can't reproduce this with F21, so unless evidence to the contrary let's assume that this was fixed. It has been fixed as I have successfully done a kickstart text install with Fedora 21. |
Created attachment 901089 [details] strace -p <pid_of_anaconda> >/tmp/strace-anaconda.txt 2>&1 Description of problem: Since the GUI install is broken, I thought I would give a kickstart TUI install. No such look, anaconda gets into a "POLLIN" loop (strace attached) right after the beginning. That is, right after issuing a message that a network was not available and yet there is the specified kickstart file in /run/install/ks.cfg Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-21.38-1 How reproducible: everytime Additional info: The last "good" DVD iso I have was created with the 5/28/14 rawhide. That one can do both tui and gui installs although it needs a dual CPU.
