Description Martin Banas 2011-10-26 10:02:20 UTC

Description of problem:
Since minimal installation doesn't contain wget, PPC64 doesn't switch booting to HDD and keeps reinstalling the machine:

These are the lines which switches the booting, and are executed in %post script:
wget "http://lab2.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com/cblr/svc/op/nopxe/system/ibm-js24-01.lab.bos.redhat.com" -O /dev/null
wget "http://lab2.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com/cblr/svc/op/ks/system/ibm-js24-01.lab.bos.redhat.com" -O /root/cobbler.ks
wget "http://lab2.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com/cblr/svc/op/trig/mode/post/system/ibm-js24-01.lab.bos.redhat.com" -O /dev/null

Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.

Comment 2 Nick Coghlan 2013-02-19 08:10:08 UTC

Beaker has switched to using curl instead of wget in more recent releases due to precisely this problem. Please reopen if the issue still occurs.
