Screenshot or error

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda 11.5.0.31

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot rawhide installer using a kickstart file with *just* a "url --url ..."
2. At the parttype %step, select "Use Entire Drive"
3. Be sure to select [X] Review and modify partitioning layout
4. Select Next
  
Actual results:

Dialog stating...
"Could not find enough free space for automatic partitioning, please use another partitioning method."

Expected results:
Autopart should work

Additional info:

This works fine when *not* using a basic kickstart file, the problem is likely introduced by using a kickstart file that contains *no* part or clearpart commands.

Does this same kickstart file work with previous releases?  According to the kickstart documentation, by default clearpart does not remove any partitions and is an optional command.  So, this seems to be working as I would expect.

Yeah, works fine in previous release.  In F-10, anaconda seems to just get the repo URL from my kickstart ... and the remaining %steps are all manual.  

My understanding is that if a kickstart command is not found in the ks.cfg, it should prompt the user?

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2009-04-03 18:13:02 UTC
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
