Is that what you intended ...? %post aspell-eo aumix-X11 cdrecord-devel cdrecord nc ntp trn kdelibs-devel pax also, I noticed you did not fully specify partitioning information in your ks file above: clearpart --linux part swap --size 267 install Did kickstart ask you interactively for partitioning information ...? What did you finally end up with ...? 1) The actual ks.cfg file I used ends with %post. The extra stuff in the bug report was from cut-and-paste. Sorry about the confusion. 2) ks did not ask for interactive partitioning information. I used the boot floppy with ks.cfg on it. I then used "linux ks=floppy" to boot. Once booted, I chose to load from the CD-ROM. At this time, anaconda started for a few seconds then crashed. Passing to QA to attempt to reproduce. *** Bug 22364 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 21562 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 23433 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 23431 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18648 *** I also experienced this problem (#23433), but now have it working. The mkkickstart adds the clearpart and part swap lines, but no other part lines. Apparently at least one part line is needed. I wanted to do a kickstart @Server installation, so I did it manually first, and then copied the partition table info into part lines in my ks.cfg. Now it works. *** Bug 21197 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
Anaconda crashes while I tried to install Linux with kickstart. I created ks.cfg on the boot floppy and start the installation using "linux ks=floppy" command. After the boot up, I selected local CD-ROM as the source and soon after anaconda started, it crashed.
