Description Fred Bourgeois 2005-06-30 00:38:23 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030208 Netscape/7.02

Description of problem:
When using a complex list of packages in a kickstart file, anaconda dies due to
package selection problems.  The anaconda-ks.cfg file is attached to this bug
report.  This file was copied verbatim from a previous interactive kickstart
installation that generated the kickstart file (on FC4).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-10.2.1.5-2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from FC4 RescueCD
2. At boot prompt: linux ks=http://192.168.0.150/Fedora4/anaconda-ks.cfg
ksdevice=eth1 ip=192.168.0.200 netmask=255.255.0.0 gateway=192.168.255.254
dns=192.168.0.150
3. 
  

Actual Results:  Installation ceased.

Expected Results:  Install should have proceeded normally - the package list being used is taken
directly from the anaconda-ks.cfg file generated by a previous successful
installation of fc4.

This looks like a known bug fixed in rawhide.  See bug #160209 for workarounds (
use -name.arch, or how to create updates image).
