Description Jan Stodola 2020-11-10 16:26:52 UTC 
Description of problem:
When installing Fedora-Rawhide (future Fedora 34) in Beaker, the following warnings are printed by the installer:

[    9.574010] dracut-cmdline[299]: Warning: 'ks=<URL>' 
[    9.584962] dracut-cmdline[299]: Warning: ks has been deprecated and will be removed. Please use inst.ks instead. 
[    9.596929] dracut-cmdline[299]: Warning: 'ksdevice=00:00:1A:1B:0B:8C' 
[    9.604937] dracut-cmdline[299]: Warning: ksdevice has been deprecated and will be removed. Please use inst.ks.device instead. 
[    9.637034] dracut-cmdline[299]: Warning: 'ksdevice=<MAC>' is deprecated. Supplied BOOTIF takes precedence. 
...
Boot argument 'leavebootorder' is deprecated and will be removed in the future. Please use 'inst.leavebootorder' instead.


Also a warning is present in anaconda.log:

anaconda.log:08:46:50,377 WRN misc: /usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pykickstart/base.py:216: KickstartDeprecationWarning: Ignoring deprecated command on line 29:  The install command has been deprecated and no longer has any effect.  It may be removed from future releases, which will result in a fatal error from kickstart.  Please modify your kickstart file to remove this command.


The "install" kickstart command has been deprecated since Fedora 29 [1] and will be removed in Fedora 34, see [2],[3], which will cause aborted installations due to an unknown kickstart command.

* Please, use the proper kernel command line arguments with the "inst" prefix instead of the deprecated arguments.
* Do not include the "install" kickstart command for at least Rawhide, Fedora 34 and RHEL-9 and later families to avoid aborted installations in the future.

Comment 3 Jan Stodola 2020-12-14 17:57:21 UTC 
Martin,
just the kickstart part of this bug was fixed, but not the part for the deprecated kernel boot arguments.
I've created a new bug 1907566 for the boot arguments.
Comment 4 Martin Styk 2020-12-14 18:06:00 UTC 
Oh you right.
Thank you for the ticket. Can you please open it in GH? I guess I will do the work anyway.
I believe that the Beaker team is using JIRA now for their work and BZ is obsolete.
