Description vcrump 2001-01-05 18:37:10 UTC
Anaconda crashes on kickstart installation.  Updating anaconda (which 
appears to be successful) does not make any difference in the crash or the 
traceback.

Particulars:
RedHat 7.0 boot.img and CD-ROM (from iso download)
ks.cfg created with mkkickstart included on floppy
boot command line: linux ks=floppy OR linux updates ks=floppy

What does work:
same setup but no ks.cfg

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in 
run
    rc = apply (step[1](), step[2])
