Description of problem: Graphical install won't start on one of my machines (bug 498312), and this in turn triggers what appears to be a bug in kickstart %pre commands in text mode. When it writes on the screen that it's running the pre commands, the second line on the screen has such noise as 'rhpl.executil waitpid: None', and it appears to run forever, even though the kickstart file says: %pre hostname libero %end After waiting a while, I switch to VT2, then back to VT1, and I see the following (incomplete) exception backtrace: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 1087, in preScriptPass runPreScripts(anaconda, ksparser.handler.scripts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 1185, in runPreScripts map (lambda s: s.run("/", flags.serial, anaconda.intf), preScripts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py , line 1185, in <lambda> map (lambda s: s.run("/", flags.serial, anaconda.intf), preScripts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py , line 84, run root = scriptRoot) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 106, in execWithRedirect except OSError, (errno, msg): ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack install exited abnormally [1/1] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F11-Preview How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run kickstart install in text mode, with a %pre script
There are a couple problems here, and they should all be fixed in the final release. They're actually fixed in .48, but that was not included in the preview.
