build qa0627.3 Description of Problem: --Was not able to complete any kickstart installs. --I used the anaconda-ks.cfg file that was generated during an install on the same system that I was attempting the kickstart install on. --The only modification to anaconda-ks.cfg was for the hostname and the install source: nfs --server porkchop --dir /mnt/redhat/test/qa0627.3/i386 -or- url --url ftp://porkchop.redhat.com/mnt/test/qa0627.3/i386 --Tried w/ NFS, FTP, and HTTP install sources. NFS: Traceback occurs just after running anaconda: File /usr/bin/anaconda, line 528, in ? instClass, setInstallData(id) File /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py, line 708, in setInstallData self.read kickstart(id, self.file) File /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py, line 475, in readKickstart args = isys_parseArgv(n) File /usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py, line 277, in parseArgv return _isys.poptParseArgv(str) ValueError = bad string for parsing FTP/HTTP: File /usr/bin/anaconda, line 155, in ? from kickstart import kickstart ImportError: No module named kickstart How Reproducible: 100%
Please retry with any tree after qa0628.0.
TUI and GUI kickstart installs completed successfully w/ the 0629.0 tree. "reboot" flag did not reboot computer.
The reboot issue is a known one.
a similar (but not identical) traceback is occuring in qa0711.4 ... this is a sporadic problem as kickstart worked in qa0709.3 test tree ... reopening ...
This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
This is because kickstart.py wasn't being pulled into the ftp/http images. msw committed a fix for this on Friday
I noticed the same problem with FTP installs on beta2. Using updates disk fixed it.
