Description of problem: In testing bug#401531 ... it appears that the new "network --bootproto=query" syntax is not recognized as valid by pykickstart. The installation will stop and prompt to reboot in stage#2 as seen below: http://redbull.englab.brq.redhat.com/bootproto_error.png Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.1.2.111-1 (RHEL5.2-Server-20080409.nightly) How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build iso file with a kickstart on the iso that contains: network --bootproto=query 2. Boot iso image with: linux ks=cdrom 3. Answer any loader questions to proceed to stage#2 Actual results: pykickstart doesn't like kickstart syntax Dialog stating ... option --bootproto: invalid choice: 'query' (choose from 'dhcp', 'bootp', 'static') http://redbull.englab.brq.redhat.com/bootproto_error.png Expected results: pykickstart should be happy
This blocks end-2-end verification of bug#401531. While this is late in the cycle, if we desire to support the hotfix pushed out against 5.1 (officially fixed in #401531), I think we'll need to take this in.
