Anaconda fails to start when using kickstart file.
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:04 EST
Description of problem: Anaconda fails to start when using kickstart file. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.2.0.58-1 busybox-anaconda-1.2.2-8.fc7 anaconda-runtime-11.2.0.58-1 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run anaconda using kadischi. 2. run anaconda from cmd-line. 3. Actual results: anaconda goes into an endless 99% usage loop. Expected results: anaconda to build install tree. Additional info: Not using a kickstart file brings up the gui and package selection as normal which then fails to grab some rpms & Release notes from mirrors. so thats two bugs in one report will separate if requested. Attaching Logs /tmp/anaconda.log more info here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2007-May/msg00064.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-livecd-list/2007-May/msg00062.html

using this command-line now brings up a successful text install, anaconda --kickstart=/home/dexter/mini-ks-cfg.ks --nompath --nodmraid --rootpath=/tmp/kadischi.oluQuu --method=http://mirror.atrpms.net/fedoracore/development/i386/os

ok basically it failed again with anaconda.i386 0:11.2.0.66-1 but the way it failed raised the question about yum 3.2.1-1 it dies if you peruse the logs reverting yum to 3.1.7-2 confirmed this breakage.
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
