Ignore the 2nd and 3rd errors, that was for a different problem in the ks file. That is, ignore this: parse-kickstart ERROR: The following problem occurred on line 27 of the kickstart file: Option --name is required (In reply to Jeff Bastian from comment #0) > Description of problem: > The anaconda-ks.cfg generated during installation contains 2 network lines: > > network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --ipv6=auto --activate > network --hostname=localhost.localdomain > > If you try to use this anaconda-ks.cfg to install another system, it > complains: > > parse-kickstart ERROR: 'network --hostname=localhost.localdomain': missing > --device > parse-kickstart ERROR: The following problem occurred on line 27 of the > kickstart file: > Option --name is required > > Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): > anaconda-19.28-1.fc19 > > How reproducible: > every time? > > Steps to Reproduce: > 1. install Fedora 19 > 2. use /root/anaconda-ks.cfg to install more machines > > Actual results: > multiple network lines break automated installation > Dose it actually break the installation? In my test with F19 Beta the error is ignored and the installation proceeds. The error message is not correct though and should go away, network commands specifying only hostname are valid. Yes, you're right, the installation actually works ok. (I guess it failed me for me originally because of the second error, I was missing a --name on an lvm volume in the kickstart file.) Anaconda does complain about the double lines, though. From anaconda.log on a system I just built with the 2 network lines: 15:06:13,316 INFO anaconda: unspecified network --device in kickstart, using eth0 (first active device) The error shouldn't have any effect, but it also shouldn't be there in the first place. Radek has a better patch for this. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
