Description Orion Poplawski 2007-08-13 12:09:46 EDT

Description of problem:

Get the following traceback doing a PXE/kickstart install (rest has scrolled off
the screen):

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 593, in __init__
  errread, errwrite)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/subprocess.py", line 1079, in _execute_child
  raise child_exception
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Last vt3 message:

INFO: Running kickstart %%pre script(s)

%pre script:
#!/usr/bin/sh
#Debugging
set -x

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2007-08-13 13:06:11 EDT

Please attach the entire traceback message.  It should still be on tty3 in its
entirety, unless it's a really long traceback.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2007-08-13 13:52:24 EDT

It's definitely from executing the %pre script - removing the %pre section
allows it to proceed.

There is no traceback logged on tty3, just the normal anaconda messages, last of
which is the info message I mentioned above.

Comment 3 Chris Lumens 2007-08-14 11:11:29 EDT

Can you attach your complete kickstart script?

Comment 4 Orion Poplawski 2007-08-14 11:14:18 EDT

Comment 5 Orion Poplawski 2007-08-14 11:47:44 EDT

Works in today's (20070814) rawhide.

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2007-08-14 11:52:39 EDT

Glad it works, because that was a truly bizarre bug and I wasn't getting much
closer to figuring out what was going on.
