Description Ben Klang 2001-11-28 14:24:42 UTC
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.

Comment 2 Paul Thomas 2003-02-25 21:31:35 UTC
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.
Everything works when I comment out the languagesupport line, and the install
prompts me for the languages I want. This is slightly inconvient as I would like
a completely automated install.

Here is my kickstart file:

--------------- begin kickstart file -------------
