From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686) Description of problem: When installing using kickstart for NFS installation AND the driver for the network adapter is not on the bootdisk but on the driver disk then the installation procedure will ask questions for which the answer is present in the kickstart file. These are the language, keyboard, installation type and for NFS also the server name and directory. When the netwrok driver is on the bootdisk then these questions are not asked. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Computer with network adapter for which the driver is NOT on the bootdisk. 2. Boot with "append ks=floppy initrd=initrd.img network driverdisk" in the syslinux.cfg and a ks.cfg which specifies a NFS installation. 3. The settings for language, keyboard , installation type and for NFS also the server name and directory are asked even though this information is present in the ks.cfg file. Actual Results: Unneeded questions. Expected Results: Skip the questions for which the answer is known. Additional info: For now I've hacked into the sources for lang.c and loader.c to hardcoded the answers and removed the calls to the mentioned question dialogs. For now it works but it isn't the preferred way.
This will require a bit of new code, it won't be in the next release. We'll keep it on the TODO list, though.
This shouldn't be a problem anymore with our current code.
