Description of Problem: While trying to install RH7.2 to my computer using the kickstart method, I had the following failure (see attached anaconda debugging output). I have also attached the ks.cfg that I used. For background, the computer is an HP LP1000R 1U rackmount SMP-capable (but UP currently) machine with 1GB of RAM. It has a SYM53C8xx scsi card and 2 18GB SCSI disks. The failure occurs during the auto-partition operation. This particular ks.cfg was created during an install to a machine that was identical, except that 2 36GB SCSI drives were used. However, I was only allocating a total of 6GB evenly split across both disks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use the supplied ks.cfg on a RedHat bootdisk (only tested on my LP1000R. Both the 18GB and the 36GB models were tested. The debug output is from the 18GB model.) 2. Boot with the command line "linux ks=floppy.cfg" 3. Wait for the installer to die Actual Results: See attached anacdump.txt Installer works perfectly when NOT run in kickstart mode. Expected Results: A successful kickstart installation.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 55310 ***
This bug is marked as a duplicate of 55310. But the fix for that, does not appear to fix the kickstart failure when having a languagesupport line in the ks file. I have got the update img disk from the updates directory and the latest bootnet.img from the updates directory, but whenever I have a languagesupport line in the ks file, it fails as described above The output from ananconda is: ----------- begin output -------------- Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 589, in ? instClass.setInstallData(id) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 835 in readKickstart self.readKickstart(id, self.file) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 556 in readKickstart if handlers[args[0]]: KeyError: languagesupport install exited abnormally ---------- end of output ------------------ I have tried this on a variety of machines using ks with dhcp and nfs.
