From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i686) I am trying to use kickstart with NFS and DHCP, the machine boots from the floppy, retrieves the kickstart file, appears to read the packages, then crashes. It appears that anaconda cannot find a subroutine called loadmeter. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create and boot from RedHat Linux 7.0 bootnet.img 2. At the prompt: ks <enter> 3. Everything appears to work fine, the "Reading package information" message shows up then anaconda crashes. Actual Results: Anaconda execption was caught requesting that I submit debugging information to bugzilla. Expected Results: Expected RedHat Linux to be installed with specified packages. ---------- start anaconda dump ---------- Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call_ _ if todo.doInstall (): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1413, in doInst all self.getCompsList() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 540, in getComp sList self.updateInstClassComps() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 575, in updateI nstClassComps self.selectPackage(n) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 586, in selectP ackage raise ValueError, str ValueError: package loadmeter is not available Local variables in innermost frame: package: loadmeter str: package loadmeter is not available self: <todo.ToDo instance at 828bd10> ---------- end anaconda dump ---------- ---------- start kickstart file ---------- auth clearpart --all install nfs --server 192.168.0.10 --dir /var/rh7 keyboard us lang en_US lilo mouse --device psaux generic3ps/2 network --bootproto dhcp part /boot --size=32 --asprimary=1 part swap --size=128 --asprimary=2 part /var --size=8192 --asprimary=3 part / --size=8192 --grow --asprimary=4 rootpw --iscrypted XXXXXXXXXX timezone America/Phoenix xconfig --hsync 30.0-69.0 --vsync 48.0-120.0 --defaultdesktop=GNOME %packages ---------- end kickstart file ----------
loadmeter is on the powertools CD. It cannot be installed via kickstart.
Classic "chair-to-keyboard interface error". Sorry!
