Created attachment 945964 [details] kickstart file Description of problem: building with pxe + anaconda/kickstart fails with message that the selected group does not exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 20 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the attached kickstart to build 2. installation process does not continue past "Starting package installation process" 3. You have specified that the group 'Minimal Install' should be installed. This group does not exist. Would you like to skip this group and continue with installation? Please respond 'yes' or 'no': Actual results: build/installation fails Expected results: Minimal Install group would be used and build process would complete with a minimal installation, plus packages that were specified in the kickstart file. Additional info: using the id minimal-environment, or the name @Minimal Install, results in the failure. ksvalidator does not indicate any errors when either the id or the name is used in the kickstart file. additionally, the virt-manager console session hangs when the question about continuing the installation is posed and no input can be given. the session has to be shut off or forced off.
You need the specify a group id. "Minimal Install" is the name, not the id, and "minimal-install" is the id of an environment rather than a group. In F21 and onwards you can specify environment ids using "@^minimal-environment", but F20 can only use groups. minimal-environment only contains one group, though, so you can just use "@core". ksvalidator does not warn about invalid groups or environments because the validity depends on the comps file from the repos, which is external to the kickstart file.
