Created attachment 395292 [details] /var/log/secure shows failures in root login. Description of problem: After bug 566948 stymied graphical install, tried installation with basic video driver. This generated complaints about missing dependencies for: initscripts openssh-server coreutils policycoreutils pam lvm2 dracut udev ncurses-libs ncurses-base Chose to continue installation. 179 packages installed. After installation completed, and subsequent reboot, could not login as root. Rebooted to runlevel 1 successfully, and found in /var/syslog/messages: Feb 20 13:57:18 localhost init: tty (/dev/tty1) main process ended, respawning Feb 20 13:57:57 localhost init: tty (/dev/tty1) main process ended, respawning Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 13.26 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from alpha-RC1 DVD 2. Select "install with basic video driver" 3. Actual results: Dependency failure messages during installation; unable to login as root. Expected results: Correct packages on install media. Successful login as root. Additional info: The following files are available: anaconda.syslog anaconda.xlog anaconda.storage.log anaconda.program.log anaconda.log but they say nothing about failed dependencies.
I encountered the same problem with anaconda 13.28 and it was 100% reproducible. The images I tested are at: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/13-Alpha.RC1/Fedora/
Set it as F13 alpha blocker bug according to Alpha Release Requirements: 2. No file conflicts or unresolved package dependencies during a media-based (CD/DVD) install and (for root login issue) maybe 12. In most cases, the installed system must boot to a functional (graphical) environment.
Please attach all the anaconda log files to this bug so we can see what's going on. Thanks.

Looks like the underlying problem is that system-config-firewall-base is not included in the install media, therefore we can't install it and run lokkit to configure the machine for logging in: 13:47:01,285 DEBUG anaconda: no package matching system-config-firewall-base ... 13:54:26,197 ERROR anaconda: Error running /usr/sbin/lokkit: No such file or directory
this appears to be a problem with pungi during the compose. Looking into it now.
This could have been a yum problem, or just a problem with the state of the repos at the time, but I cannot duplicate it at this point.
Verified fixed in F13 alpha RC2.
