Description of problem: If you automatize an installation using a kickstart conf, if 'text' is used then the installation stops in the welcome screen with the 'Welcome to Fedora9!' message requesting user intervention. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora9. Anaconda orginal version that comes with F9 DVD or netinstall How reproducible: Use a kickstart script like: install url --url ftp://172.16.120.1/root/tmp/repo lang en_US keyboard us network --device eth0 --onboot yes --bootproto dhcp --hostname caca # text will stop automatic installation. text autostep rootpw welcome firewall --disabled authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5 selinux --disabled timezone Europe/Paris bootloader --location=mbr --append="rhgb quiet" zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel part / --fstype ext3 --size=10 --grow part swap --size=512 poweroff %packages --nobase --ignoremissing * %end Steps to Reproduce: 1. modify the kickstart conf to point to a valid ftp repository 2. launch install dvd with the kickstart conf in a floppy and ks=floppy:/ks.cfg If 'text' is removed, then the installation goes through completely and fine. This problem is not present in CentOS for example using the same script, neither in F10 using the same script. Actual results: Automated installation stops at welcome screen requiring user intervention. Expected results: Go through the automated install without asking questions. Additional info:
This should be fixed in the current build of anaconda in Rawhide. If you continue to experience this problem after testing either with that or with F11 beta (once it's released), please feel free to reopen this bug.
