Description Jérôme ALEXANDRE 2005-01-19 13:49:55 UTC
Description of problem:
The ks.cfg file generated by ispec adds some extra double quotes in
"bootloader" line (see below), so elilo is not able to transmit the
parameters to the kernel at reboot time 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ispec-1.0-2

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install and configure ispec
2.start the installation 
3.at reboot time, elilo complains and stops
  
Actual results:
elilo complains and stops

Expected results:
elilo does work fine

Additional info:
to correct this malfunction, change the line in ksX.cfg, where X
stands for 1 2 or 3
#bootloader --location=mbr --append=" 4
rhrstrict=\"CORE,INFO,STORAGE,MEMORY,USB,NETWORK,FLOPPY,VIDEO,CDROM\""
bootloader --location=mbr --append=" 4
rhrstrict=CORE,INFO,STORAGE,MEMORY,USB,NETWORK,FLOPPY,VIDEO,CDROM"
