Description Mark McLoughlin 2009-03-23 09:48:31 UTC

Tried to install the f11 beta tree from 2009-03-22 using a kickstart containing e.g.:

  part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=200 --onpart=sda1

and got this traceback:

  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 993, in <module>
    kickstart.processKickstartFile(anaconda, opts.ksfile)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 1121, in processKickstartFile
    ksparser.readKickstart(file)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pykickstart/parser.py", line 759, in readKickstart
    self._stateMachine (lambda: fh.readline())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pykickstart/parser.py", line 634, in _stateMachine
    self.handleCommand(lineno, args)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 1088, in handleCommand
    KickstartParser.handleCommand(self, lineno, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pykickstart/parser.py", line 467, in handleCommand
    self.handler.dispatcher(args, lineno, self._preceededInclude)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pykickstart/base.py", line 376, in dispatcher
    obj = self.commands[cmd].parse(args[1:])
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 678, in parse
    devicetree.registerAction(ActionCreateFormat(device, kwargs["format"]))
  NameError: global name 'ActionCreateFormat' is not defined

Looks like kickstart.py is missing:

  from storage.deviceaction import *

This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.  Thanks for the bug report.
