Description of problem: Booting the installer with a serial console anaconda is still starting the X server and trying to run the X11 gui version. I have tried this with no boot options and I have also tried passing "serial" and "console=ttyS1" and it still runs X11. This is on a system that has a video card however the system is configured to use the serial console. I have not yet tried this version of rawhide on a system that has no video hardware. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.0.102-1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot on an HP Integrity server that has video hardware but is configured for serial console (nearly all HP ia64 servers in rhts) 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
More info... appears this is only happening for kickstart installs.
I just tried this on x86_64 and I see the same issue so it is not ia64 specific. Note that this breaks kickstart installs that require some user interaction.
Chris fixed this on Friday, we just didn't build a package as we were trying not to rock the boat with the FC6pre candidate that was being tested.
