Take out the 'zerombr' line. Does that help? I think that option may no longer be valid. The 'zerombr yes' removal was helpful. I'm curious why ksconfig-1.2-1 that ships with redhat 7.1 still puts uses that zerombr in its generated ks.cfg files. Right now the machine will build using ks.cfg, but I've found two more issues. 1) Choosing to skip the X-configuration will cause the install to bail. No error messages :(. 2) I am still prompted for lanuages even though 'lang en_US' exists in the ks.cfg. Perhaps that syntax has changed as well. So...I've realized that without the zerombr option I cannot get lilo going from the MBR. The machine dies on boot just printing the LI to the screen and no further. (this is after a complete kickstart). I checked the rawhide anaconda rpms. anaconda-runtime-7.1.91-0.200106281653 anaconda-7.1.91-0.200106281653 They still seem to honor the zerombr in the ks.cfg. I assume this is just some sort of logical/syntax error in the code. Perhaps you guys have observed some of this for yourselves. As usual, rawhide is on a "you get to keep the pieces basis"... Anyway, large parts of anaconda have been overhauled and we're still reconnecting pieces. 1) zerombr still isn't hooked back up yet (but doesn't traceback anymore) 2) x config should ask you questions if you don't specify anything related to X configuration -- if you want no X configuration, please use the skipx directive 3) There is a new langsupport directive for configuring language support. Use langsupport --default en_US <list of languages to install> If you leave out the list, it will install for all. Leaving open until I fix zerombr just as a reminder. Also, you may be interested in the 'bootloader' directive which is a much more generic one than lilo (as lilo installation was broken in that anaconda release and fixed since) The above suggestions about the ks.cfg have worked out quite well with the July 13th rawhide release. Feel free to close this case. My current ks.cfg is: lang en_US langsupport --default en_US keyboard us network --bootproto static --ip 144.14.217.214 --netmask 255.255.255.128 --gateway 144.14.217.129 --nameserver 144.14.36.134 nfs --server 144.14.36.223 --dir /vol/vol2/home/distributions/rawhide device ethernet 3c90x install firewall --disabled clearpart --all part /boot --size 15 part / --size 300 part /var --size 300 part swap --size 400 part /afscache --size 200 part /usr --size 3000 --grow skipx mouse generic3ps/2 timezone America/New_York rootpw --iscrypted $1$1cy18ye8$CRlPpM/M4TCcPjQ1.xkuf/ auth --nisdomain ms.com --useshadow lilo --location mbr zerombr yes %packages @ Everything zerombr support should work again now with current cvs |
