Description Brian Brock 2006-06-28 18:13:29 UTC 
A kickstart installation that includes directives for lang and langsupport
ignores th ks.cfg options in favor of prompting the user.

Seen in rawhide-20060628 with anaconda-11.1.0.48-1

The installation begins, boots the kernel grabbed via tftp, and proceeds until
the language configuration section.  I was expecting that section to continue
without prompting for user input.

in ks.cfg I specified:

install
nfs --server=<server> --dir=<dir>
lang en_US.UTF-8
langsupport --default=en_US.UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8
keyboard us
network --device eth0 --bootproto dhcp
Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2006-06-28 18:22:11 UTC 
I expect that the ks.cfg actually isn't being fetched because the kernel isn't
able to load modules right now...
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2006-06-28 18:37:14 UTC 
Note that langsupport doesn't actually do anything anymore - you should see a
warning in your anaconda logs about that.
Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2006-07-13 18:57:24 UTC 
Is this better now that the kernel can load modules again?
Comment 4 Brian Brock 2006-07-20 18:34:20 UTC 
langsupport appears fine in recent trees, it's not stopping the installer.
