Description of problem: This was seen doing a kickstart install on my HP Integrity servers. I do not see this when I do an interactive install. I am using serial console. The systems do have video hardware however I have not monitor/keyboard on any so they are used as headless systems. The screen was rather garbled but I think I have managed to make this somewhat readable: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 900, in ? instClass.setInstallData(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 889, in setInstallData File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pykickstart/parser.py", line 1112, in readKickstart self.handleCommand(lineno, args) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 766, in handleCommand self.handler.handlers[cmd](self.id, cmdArgs) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 646, in doXConfig dict["startX"]) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/installclass.py", line 408, in configureX self.setVideoCard(id, driver, videoRam) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/installclass.py", line 404, in setVideoCard id.xsetup.xhwstate.set_videocard_ram(int(videoRam)) AttributeError: XSetup instance has no attribute 'xhwstate' install exited abnormally [1/1] sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /mnt/runtime done disabling /dev/loop0 /proc/bus/usb done /proc done /dev/pts done /sys done /tmp/ramfs done /mnt/source done you may safely reboot your system Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-20060731 anaconda-11.1.0.73-1 How reproducible: 100% when doing kickstart installs Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

Ah, this is just because of some odds and ends that didn't get finished up last thing on Friday. The whole new X startup process could still use some testing on less common setups (headless, especially) since I don't have access to them.
