kickstart file reproducing problem
Your kickstart config doesn't happen to have any dos newlines in it, does it? (can't depend on html upload to not corrupt those :/) That was one of my initial thoughts as well, but a quick run though 'od -b' does not reveal any dos newlines. Are there any other special chars I should look for?(typically ones invisible to emacs in shell-script mode). Slight Ooops on my part, as the attached kickstart file does not reproduce the problem. A couple of %post commands were left out due to an oversight in my m4 compilation - mera culpa. I have now determined what exactly makes anaconda choke. The missing %post lines contained \\n (backslash newline) for formatting. This produces the error whenever %packages is used with a parameter. Further attachments folllow.
