From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.6 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: I have a machine that doesn't have a floppy. Thus I decided to put a ks.cfg on a web server and use CD-ROM 1 to boot anaconda and install. The problem I am seeing is that even though ks.cfg has an entry that says #Use NFS installation media nfs --server 172.16.0.103 --dir /kickstart/RH-8.0 Actual packages are installed from the CD meaning that it prompts me for disc 2 and/or disc 3. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a ks.cfg file with NFS as the installation media 2. Use CD-ROM 1 and type linux ks=http://172.16.0.104/ks.cfg Actual Results: You will see a lot of CD-ROM activity and eventually you will be prompted for disc 2. Expected Results: I would expect that installation media from ks.cfg would have been honored by anaconda. Additional info:
Could you attach your ks.cfg (with the password line obscured obviously)?

Does the NFS location you specify work in an interactive install? I get the behavior you describe if the NFS directory I specify isn't the correct one. We probably shouldn't be falling back to the cdrom, but it looks like things work right if I use your ks.cfg with the nfs server and directory changed.
NFS location works in interactive install.
Okay, added code so that we will won't automatically try the CD for kickstart, although I can't reproduce the problem here with your kickstart config
