Red Hat Product Errata RHEA-2016:2158 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE anaconda bug fix and enhancement update 2016-11-03 13:13:55 UTC

Description Jiri Konecny 2016-01-11 11:08:50 UTC
Description of problem:
When an installation is started with boot parameters ks=file:/non/existing/path/kickstart.ks and inst.text then it will start automatic install process. For the sake of sanity this should be fixed soon. When there is only typo in the kickstart path it's hard to find out what is happening.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-21.48.22.56-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start installation with boot options ks=file:/non/existing/path/kickstart.ks and inst.text .
2. The installation stops on error message that you have bad storage.

Actual results:
Installation stops when complaining about bad partitioning.

Expected results:
It should stops on start of the installation with message "Missing kickstart file" or "Kickstart file %s not found".
