Forgot to mention that my hunch is that it is related to clearpart:
clearpart --all --initlabel
Also, it would be nice if there was an option to reboot when there has been a problem. Something like 'stresstest' which will reboot on kickstart failure (maybe also enable panic) and maybe even report the failure on the webserver. (by going to the original kickstart URL with something like: ?error=vgcreate:%20failed%for%rootvg This way I could leave it running all weekend, come back and see how many times it was able to install and if there was some sort of repetition in the behaviour. If you think this would be useful, I can create another enhancement request. Created attachment 126786 [details] Kickstart file causing the problems We're using this kickstart file with the following commandline: label pztvw1 kernel vmlinuz append initrd=initrd.img text ip=10.233.80.32 netmask=255.255.255.192 gateway=10.233.80.1 hostname=pztvw1 ksdevice=00:11:0A:58:66:BC ks=http://10.50.33.171/footprint/ You could use a %traceback script in your kickstart file to automatically reboot, post your traceback log to a web server, etc. These scripts are written similarly to the %pre/%post scripts. I don't know how long they've been supported, but I think they've been around for quite a while now. The mouse keyword is deprecated in kickstart in Rawhide and has no effect. Could you please test against Rawhide if at all possible and let me know if you are still seeing problems? |
Description of problem: If you remove mouseconfig in %packages, anaconda will display an error-message in tty1 (over the ncurses interface) when it tries to run mouseconfig. (eg. mouseconfig: command not found) In fact, you can turn this into enhancement request to allow for disabling mouse altogether in a kickstart file, since the HP remote console (iLo) uses a Java console, and enabling the mouse will make it even slower. I tried doing: mouse none But that seems to make kickstart fail in a complete other section. Which seems to happen a lot when it has some sort of syntax-problem. I haven't been able to isolate the problem though, with a single kickstart file it happens on some times and not on others. (I'm doing stress-tests now) The error always is 'vgcreate failed for ...'
