kickstart script

I just started an install of Fedora 15 Alpha with a kickstart file, and Anaconda seems to be ignoring all options from the kickstart file. The first problem that I noticed was that the %pre script wasn't run, which caused an error message that /tmp/part.include could not be found. I then noticed that I could ssh in without specifying a root password, even though the sshpw option was in the kickstart file. As the installation continued, it asked questions about timezone, package selection, root password, etc., all of which were specified in the kickstart file. I am attaching the kickstart script, which I was using almost verbatim in Fedora 14. I am also attaching the anaconda.log. Is there anything else that would be helpful? Thanks.

Comment 2 Andrew McNabb 2011-03-22 20:56:01 UTC
I just downloaded a new Anaconda vmlinuz/initrd.img from the link given by James Laska in bug #676940. Not only did this fix the error message about /tmp/part.include, but it also fixed all of the other unrelated cases of Anaconda ignoring kickstart options.  I'll go ahead and close this bug since it seems to be fixed in versions of Anaconda more recent than the Fedora 15 Alpha.
