Description
IBM Bug Proxy

%pre does not get executed in initrd. It gets executed by anaconda proper. This worked in F16 by coincidence, because the entire anaconda runtime was inside the initrd. It would not have worked in any release prior to F15 and F16. There's plenty of other ways to accomplish this, however. For example. you should be able to use the MAC address as the '--device' option on your network line, as noted in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#network ------- Comment From aravam.com 2012-05-01 00:19 EDT------- Hi, Yep, if I force cobbler to use their "old-style" network configuration, things work ok (install fails due to a separate known bug which is fixed in beta, hopefully). I'll work with the Cobbler devs on fixing the kickstart template.
