* re0917.1-ia64 * ia64 / any / any / minimal / Kickstart Install Description of Problem: Doing a kickstart install, the partition line for /boot/efi, which should select an existing partition, gives a traceback complaining that the size must be specified. For an existing partition, this should not be necessary. Note, that these lines come directly from the anaconda-ks.cfg file of a previous install. e.g. something like part /boot/efi --fstype vfat --onpart /dev/hda1
* test tree re0917.1 IA64 Installed a system with Kickstart. The ks.cfg file had this partitions section: (...) clearpart --linux --drives=sda part /boot/efi --fstype vfat --size=100 --ondisk=sda part swap --size=1000 --grow --maxsize=2000 --ondisk=sda part / --fstype ext3 --size=700 --grow --ondisk=sda (...) I think that it did not format the /boot/efi partition: The /tmp/install.log said that kernel....rpm package was not installed because it already was there! After finishing install, at /root/anacondaks.cfg, I found this partition section: (...) #clearpart --linux #part /boot/efi --fstype vfat --noformat --onpart sda1 #part swap --size=1000 --grow --maxsize=2000 --ondisk=sda #part / --fstype ext3 --size=700 --grow --ondisk=sda (...) Note the part on /boot/efi and how it is different of the ks.cfg part, specially the "--noformat" part.
First one fixed on the anaconda-7-2-branch... still looking at the second one (which is something completely different)
Patch for the second bits being floated past anaconda-list first to avoid silly problems; should be in CVS later today though.
