ks.cfg file

Description of problem:
I am able to install F11 Alpha OK. However, after the install the system reboots and fails to start up. I have attached my kickstart file, which I copy to a usb flash drive as /ks.cfg.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-11-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot from Fedora-11-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso DVD image.
2. Install via kickstart by appending. ks=hd:sdc1:/ks.cfg
  
Actual results:
Install runs through OK, but fails to boot after the install. The error message is:
mkrootdev: expected fs options
mount: missing mount point

Expected results:
Install and reboot into F11.

Additional info:
sha1sum passed and the media check passed.

I've been trying out raw hide today via PXE and using an interactive install.
Anaconda bails out. I have 2 sata hard drives. I'm not sure why they are being detected as sda & sdd, I would expect sda & sdb.

Find attached anaconda.log. Thanks

sdb and sdc are:

<5>scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access     VIA-P    VT6205-DevB      2.82 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2
<5>scsi 0:0:0:1: Direct-Access     VIA-P    VT6205-DevM      2.82 PQ: 0 ANSI: 2

The vt6205 is some kind of card reader controller. Can you try disabling that in the system BIOS?

Comment 5 W Agtail 2009-03-24 21:29:59 UTC
Thank you for your time with this. vt6205 is a USB media card reader which i have now disabled. I just tried a pxe install with same error. See attached ana2.log.

Hi
FYI I have just tried Fedora-11-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso via kickstart. Pre Installation script runs through now, however the following error message is displayed while parsing the kickstart configuration:
Specified nonexistent partition sdb1 in partition command.

Which refer to:
part raid.12 --onpart=sdb1

The previous line to this is:
part raid.11 --onpart=sda1

Running fdisk /dev/sdb from [alt] F2 screen confirms /dev/sdb1 with an ID of 83.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Comment 8 W Agtail 2009-04-17 15:56:48 UTC
Hi
With the attached kickstart file in mind: h-f11-ks.cfg
I have tried today's rawhide and have got a little further.
The error message now displayed is:
Tried to use undefined partition pv.4 in Volume Group specification

which refers to the following line in the kickstart file:
volgroup sys --pesize=32768 pv.4

Regards

Comment 9 Chris Lumens 2009-04-23 18:00:20 UTC
Sounds like your original problem is now solved, and we already have another bug plus patch for your new issue so I'm going to close this one out as resolved.  Thanks for the testing.
