This is how kickstart works - you use a command that no longer exists, and kickstart halts with an error message. It's just like any other language in this respect. langsupport was deprecated in time for RHEL5 which means you've had a warning getting logged since then. It's also worth pointing out that you can use the ksvalidator command in the pykickstart package to check your kickstart config file before running it through anaconda, just to make sure you're not using anything that's invalid. |
