Description Frank Salinas 2000-05-08 18:32:33 UTC 
Anaconda crashes when going to the second stage install when installing
using kickstart though the serial console. This happens only if the machine
has no video card installed. If there is a video card present the serial
console installation works even though the video display is not used.

Here is the error:

Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 307, in ?

The rest of the error message is cleared immediately.
