Description of problem: The part of loader that parses the kickstart for commands will continue parsing throughout the %pre/%post/%package sections until one of them doesn't have any options. This is because in ksReadCommands it strips leading and trailing whitespace but then checks for the *exact* strings, not just initial substrings. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-9.1.6.8-1.RHEL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put a python script as a %pre right after the commands section of ks.cfg 2. make sure you assign to a variable called 'url' in the python script 3. Actual results: A customer claimed they got a newt error dialog, I just got a hung loader Expected results: No problems Additional info: An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below.
