Are you changing your comps file at all? What does the kickstart config you are using look like?
The question was asked by katzj what the kickstart file looked like and if I had modified the comps file. I did not modify the comps file but used that found on the CD. I did manage to find a work around, however. I saw at the bottom of the dump file that the error was triggered by (i386)GRUB. So I created an identical kickstart file except chose the option to use LILO instead of GRUB.Ran into anther problem like having to force primary partitions but that is not related to the anacdump. Attached is the working ks.cfg. I don;t have the nonfunctional ks.cfg as it was modified by using the above mentioned modifications.
Created attachment 48665 [details] ks.cfg
Was what was included in the ks.cfg "i386: grub" or jsut "grub" (without quotes)?
No mention of grub is made what so ever. Used default for bootloader config using ksconfig-1.9.8-4.i386.rpm. Only mention of grub is in anacdump.txt which states: KeyError: i386: grub Local variables in innermost frame: self: <comps.HeaderListFromFile instance at 8279958> item: i386: grub Using lilo instead of default (grub) works (no dump).
I was able to get this ks file to work once I removed these non-existant packages: emacs-nox linuxconf
