Description of problem:
I'm trying to do a installation with kickstart and I got the error message:
Exception Occurred
An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please copy the
full text of this exception or save the crash dump to a floppy the file a

There are more things at the anacdump.txt file but I don't think that is important.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart file with the Kickstart Configurator
2. Create a boot disk with the bootnet.img
3. Change the syslinux.cfg with
default ks
prompt 0
timeout 600
label ks
  kernel vmlinuz
  append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img lang= devfs=nomount ramdisk_size=9216

And copy the ks.cfg to the diskette.
The ks.cfg file is:
#Generated by Kickstart Configurator

#System language
lang en_US

#Language modules to install
langsupport en_US

#System keyboard
keyboard us

#System mouse
mouse none

#System timezone

#Root password

#Use NFS installation media

%packages --resolvedeps
@Minimal


    

Actual Results:  I got the exception error

Expected Results:  Linux installed at the machine

Additional info:

The machine is a Pentium 2GHz, with 256MRam and 20GHD

Hi,

I tried to install everything
%packages --resolvedeps
# @Minimal
@Everything

And it installs ok!
So the problem is with the comps.xml file ?




Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2003-02-13 20:46:37 UTC
redhat-config-kickstart was writing out bad kickstart configs.  Minimal doesn't
exist as a component, use Base instead.  This is fixed in newer versions of
redhat-config-kickstart
