anaconda-ks.cfg

I note also that 'repo' lines aren't written to anaconda-ks.cfg; in this case,
it was:

repo --name=extras-devel
--baseurl=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras/development/i386/

Perhaps the use of an addtional repo is one reason the %packages is wrong?

I can't believe this made it into RHEL 5 with all the hype.

This happened to me twice now on RHEL 5 installs.  One desktop and one server.

This is from my resulting kickstart:

%packages
@graphics

That's bad.  Not even @base is there!

Comment 1 David L. Parsley 2007-04-24 19:12:05 UTC

Wanted to be sure this bug was cloned to RHEL5.  This makes it a bit of a pain
for generating intial kickstart files.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2007-04-24 19:58:59 UTC

Does booting with updates=http://people.redhat.com/clumens/235881.img fix things?

Comment 3 David L. Parsley 2007-04-25 15:02:56 UTC

Yes, this corrects the issue for me.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2007-04-25 15:51:09 UTC

I have another bug that is tracking this issue and I think it has a high
likelihood of making it into the next update release of RHEL 5, so I'm going to
close this one out as NEXTRELEASE.
