RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version: pykickstart-1.99.43.13-1
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
Cause: pykickstart does not default to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 version of kickstart syntax. Consequence: using features such as bootloader --disabled and %packages --nocore result in errors, because they were not supported in the version pykickstart defaults to. Workaround (if any): Pass --version=RHEL7 to all tools shipped with pykickstart, or pass version=RHEL7 if using pykickstart as a library. Result: Works as desired.

Description Jay Greguske 2014-07-31 18:32:44 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1123479 +++

To support Anaconda building Docker™ images, a handful of feature enhancements should be merged into RHEL:

- disable kernel installation
- disable installation of the boot loader
- prevent installing @core
- limit the installation of localization packages and documentation

The kickstart syntax introduced with these feature enhancements allows us to generate very minimal base images.

What is going to be this syntax ? QE can't test if we don't know what. Please provide more info.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2014-08-13 15:13:02 UTC 
From a pykickstart perspective, it is only the following:

* Add bootloader --disabled, which just skips installation of the bootloader package and the bootloader to disk.

* Add %packages --nocore, which acts just like --nobase except for the core group.

For anaconda (bug 1123479) it means making sure the above work on the anaconda side, plus the following:

* Don't fail if firewalld and authconfig are not installed.

* Fix %packages --instLangs=.
Comment 4 Alexander Todorov 2014-09-09 07:29:45 UTC 
QE note:

for expected testing results see the relevant RHEL 6 bug:

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2014-10-21 13:57:53 UTC 
That's an anaconda bug, which you can clearly tell from the traceback, so please do not reopen this bug.  Further, if you'd do some research, you'd find bug 1147687 against anaconda which is currently in ON_QA which will take care of this.  So again, this is just a pykickstart bug and as long as the pykickstart portion of comment #3 is working, this bug is fine.  Putting back into MODIFIED.
Comment 10 Ladislav Jozsa 2015-01-28 19:25:24 UTC 
Attempted to verify with pykickstart-1.99.43.17-1.el7.noarch, RHEL-7.1-20150122.0.

# ksvalidator ./ks-r7-min.cfg 
The following problem occurred on line 9 of the kickstart file:

no such option: --disabled


# cat ./ks-r7-min.cfg
#version=RHEL7
keyboard --vckeymap=us --xlayouts='us'
lang en_US.UTF-8
rootpw --plaintext redhat
timezone America/New_York --isUtc
zerombr
clearpart --all --initlabel 
autopart
bootloader --disabled

%packages --nocore --instLangs=.
httpd
-kernel
%end


Moving back to assigned.
Comment 11 Chris Lumens 2015-01-28 22:57:45 UTC 
I'm going to need to do another patch to update pykickstart so that the RHEL7 version is the default version.  For now, you can use --version=RHEL7 for ksvalidator and other tools and continue testing.  Please do so and let me know if there are other problems so I can keep rebuilds to a minimum.  Thanks.
Comment 12 Chris Lumens 2015-01-28 23:17:26 UTC 
Note that this didn't come up in development because anaconda sets the kickstart version to RHEL7 itself.

Tested with --version=RHEL7 and it worked fine. Moving to verified.
Comment 14 Chris Lumens 2015-02-04 15:56:36 UTC 
I need this bug to be marked as an exception or blocker in order to apply the patch I mentioned in comment #11 to make sure that the workaround used in comment #13 doesn't need to happen.
Comment 15 Chris Lumens 2015-02-09 15:25:46 UTC 
Okay, well, I'm not going to be able to fix that issue until 7.2 it looks like.  Luckily anaconda should be using the correct syntax version.  We should probably document --version=RHEL7 somewhere.
