Description of problem: I did put the following line in my kickstart file: %post --log=/root/post.log After the installation, the file /root/post.log does not exist at all, though my post script generates a fairly big amount of output on both stdout and stderr. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-0:11.3.0.42-1.i386
When you say "after the installation", are you referring to after you have rebooted and are looking at the installed system, or are you referring to after anaconda has finished but before you have rebooted?
Chris: after the reboot. I have not looked right after anaconda finished. Isn't it expected to be in the target filesystem after the reboot?
Oh I see what's going on here. The log file location isn't being interpreted relative to the chroot, so your logs are ending up in /root instead of /mnt/sysimage/root and are therefore being destroyed when you reboot. This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
