Description of problem:
While attempting a kickstart from a network share the boot crashed shortly 
after loading anaconda.

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dd the bootnet.img to floppy.
2. cp ks.cfg to floppy. The ks file is mostly a copy of the sample on the 
cdrom.
3. at the boot prompt: linux ks=floppy
4. i also attempted to boot from cd and used the floppy for the ks file 
and it also failed.	

Actual Results:  The system halted, reported a bug, and suggested that I 
report it here.

Expected Results:  Linux installed from a network share.

Additional info:

The first section of the dump file.

Comment 1 Brent Fox 2001-06-29 22:43:32 UTC
You have a misspelling in your kickstart file.  The autofs package name has no
dash in it.  So, instead of saying 'auto-fs', you should say 'autofs'.
