Created attachment 479185 [details] anaconda-logs.tgz (/tmp/*) Description of problem: This is a change from previous releases, but I'm not sure if it's intentional or not. When performing a kickstart install that does *not* offer a display mode (e.g. 'text', 'cmdline' or 'graphical'). The previous behavior I'm familiar with was (clearly not current syntax) ... if ['vnc', 'text', 'cmdline'] in /proc/cmdline display_mode = cmdline.display_mode else: if kickstart install: if kickstart.display_mode in ['vnc', 'text', 'cmdline']: display_mode = kickstart.display_mode else display_mode = text-mode else display_mode = VNC_install_prompt or text-mode Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * anaconda-15.20-1 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a basic kickstart file that does *not* use either keyword: text, cmdline or graphical 2. Boot the installer with the proper ks= argument to initiate a kickstart install NOTE: in my testing, I'm *not* specifying a timezone in the kickstart, so that the installer will prompt me for it. Actual results: Greetings. anaconda installer init version 15.20 starting mounting /proc filesystem... done creating /dev filesystem... done starting udev...done mounting /dev/pts (unix98 pty) filesystem... done Welcome to Fedora for x86_64 Retrieving http://dell-t5400.test.redhat.com/cobbler/ks_mirror/F-15-Alpha-x86_64/images/updates.img...
