Description Michael E Brown 2001-03-13 17:34:03 UTC 
The following script in the %post install of a kickstart file will hang...

%post

mkdir /mnt/hb
mount hb.us.dell.com:/home /mnt/hb
cd /mnt/hb/share/setup
./setup

This bug verified in RC2 and QA0309. 

The rest of the kickstart file follows:

Comment 1 Michael E Brown 2001-03-13 17:35:13 UTC 
The same _exact_ kickstart file (except for the install path), works just fine
with RH7.0
Comment 2 Michael E Brown 2001-03-13 17:37:00 UTC 
On vc2, in the bash prompt, a 'ps ax' shows the 'mount' command stuck.
Eventually (>5 mins) the machine will reboot itself. 

There are no messages in /tmp/syslog or on VC3 or VC4.
Comment 3 Michael E Brown 2001-03-13 19:27:07 UTC 
Actually, I didn't wait long enough for the messages. Before rebooting the
following mesages appear on VC4:

from memory: (will update bugzilla after reproducing and copying error msg)

portmap: connection to localhost timed out
portmap: connection to localhost timed out
portmap: connection to localhost timed out
lock_fh:  ...
portmap: connection to localhost timed out
Comment 4 Michael E Brown 2001-03-13 20:21:45 UTC 
Add "-o nolock" to the mount command line fixes this issue.
