Description

'serial console=ttyS0' is also not parsed. askmethod is deprecated and has been removed. use an appropriate "inst.repo=XXX" argument, as suggested by the error message. 'serial' is also deprecated - it's a synonym for "console=ttyS0", so use that instead. Hongqing, can you please re-do all the TC2 tests marked as 'failing' due to this bug, with the new parameters described in comment #2? Thanks! -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #3) > Hongqing, can you please re-do all the TC2 tests marked as 'failing' due to > this bug, with the new parameters described in comment #2?

When you say 'does not work', what happens exactly? Installation continues but does not use the serial console? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers (In reply to comment #5) > When you say 'does not work', what happens exactly?

The installation continues without serial console. (In reply to comment #6) > yes, that is. The installation continues without serial console. Confirmed. Proposing as Beta blocker, serial console is now in Beta criteria. I know this is a dependent bug of a Beta blocker already, but just to be on the safe side. I vote +1 blocker, this is a clear infraction of "The installer must be able to complete an installation using the serial console interface". -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers Will says this ought to be fixed in current anaconda 17 branch. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers +1 blocker. +1 blocker 4 +1s (counting kamil's proposal), accepted per criterion "The installer must be able to complete an installation using the serial console interface". -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers +1 blocker anaconda-17.14-1.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-17.14-1.fc17 Package anaconda-17.14-1.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing anaconda-17.14-1.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4546/anaconda-17.14-1.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). anaconda-17.14-1.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. The "askmethod" still can not be parsed in anaconda 17.14. (In reply to comment #18) > The "askmethod" still can not be parsed in anaconda 17.14. There is no 'askmethod' option, use 'inst.repo=' directly according Comments 2 The 'console=ttyS0' option is fixed. Verified and pushed, closing. We should document the removal of 'askmethod' in the release notes. Release notes folks, that's what this is for. the 'askmethod' anaconda parameter is gone in F17. Remaining methods of selecting repositories for sourcing the installer itself and/or packages to install are the 'repo=' (or 'inst.repo=', now) parameter and doing it interactively at the package installation stage of the installer. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers |
