Installation log files

Description of problem:
I started manual graphical installation, on appropriate screen I marked additional repositories (ClusteredStorage, HighAvailability, LoadBalance) and selected 'Customize now' option.

I can't find new categories/groups/packages on next screen.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL6.0-20100621.0
anaconda-13.21.50-9.el6.i686

Comment 1 Denise Dumas 2010-06-22 13:43:31 UTC
<dcantrell> k1: for 606765, check the comps file for the addon repo you want to test and find a package that is unique to that repo, then identify it's group.  during installation, enable that repo and then check to see that it appears in the group you read in the comps file

Comment 2 Marian Ganisin 2010-06-22 13:57:21 UTC
LoadBalance define category "Load Balancing" and group "Load Balancing" containing packages ipvsadm and piranha. These items are not available in installer.

Comment 3 David Cantrell 2010-06-22 15:56:59 UTC
We have determined the problem, but deem it not worth blocking beta 2 for.  A standard installation will give users the base RHEL variant they choose.  The redhat-release package will deliver yum repo configuration files for the addons.  After installation, users can use yum with the --enablerepo option to install the addon they want.

We will fix this issue in snapshot 7.

Comment 9 Alexander Todorov 2010-07-01 13:30:53 UTC
With the 0630 nightly which has anaconda-13.21.55-1.el6 I selected all 4 add-on repositories for the Server variant. After selecting customize packages the UI showed all additional groups and packages associated with them. In particular the Load Balancing group was shown and I was able to select the piranha package.

Installation completed successfully. The rhel-beta.repo file provides yum repositories to match the add-on repositories in anaconda. Moving to VERIFIED.
