Your kickstart contains an xconfig keyword, but you've said there's no graphics hardware. We probably shouldn't crash, though Yes, without the xconfig keyword, the installation actually succeeds. However xconfig is there to configure mainly the X server of the system to be installed, not only the graphical installer. It can be configured independently by keywords text and graphics, and if I add keyword text to the configuration, it still crashes -- however it makes perfect sense to me to install a system with xconfig'd X support that does not yet have XEN graphics enabled. You can easily add this support later. It shouldn't crash, but proceed in text mode and install the system with X configured according to xconfig. BTW, shortly before it clears the screen and then fails, it outputs "No video hardware found, assuming headless" So it knows perfectly that it doesn't have video hardware (currently). This is fixed post-FC6 by keeping the .xinf files around, I believe. I remember seeing this problem and fixing it. I think the key to it was making sure the /usr/share/hwdata/videoaliases/*.xinf files are kept in the minstg2.img. Please test F7test1 and verify that it works for you as well. |
