From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: When doing a kickstart install, the bootloader configuration screen is always shown, and the 'bootloader' command in the kickstart configuration file is being ignored. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.91.4-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install FC5 test 2 using a ks.cfg with an entry for bootloader configuration, in my case: bootloader --location=mbr --driveorder=hda --md5pass=encryptedpassword Actual Results: The screen for configuring the bootloader appeared and the grub password was not set so it seems the bootloader command in ks.cfg was ignored Expected Results: installation should have continued with the settings provided in the kickstart file without prompting 9as happened in FC4) Additional info:
This is still a problem in FC5 test 3, despite the fact it is marked "fixed in rawhide". Can we get an explanation why this bug is closed? "bootloader --location=mbr" in a ks.cfg file for FC5t3, resulting in a system that will not boot after install. tty5 show that grub is failing with: "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" Note that I have raid configured with my boot partition being RAID1. This worked flawlessly in FC4 and the bootloader was written to the MBR. I can't quite figure out if 1) grub is ignoring the "bootloader" command in the ks.cfg or 2) the RAID1 on the boot partition is causing the problem.
I believe Jeremy fixed this in rawhide earlier this week.
