Description of problem: With Fedora 16 using a kickstart file with the anaconda 'liveinst' installer fails when doing a hard disk install. It does not matter which kickstart file is used. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-16.25-1.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: 1) Boot up the Fedora 16 Live CD Desktop: "Fedora-16-x86_64-LiveDesktop.iso" 2) Next Perform a 'liveinst' install to the hard disk 3) cd /tmp 4) Create an empty kickstart file (does not matter which one to use). 5) touch "k.cfg" 6) liveinst --kickstart="/tmp/k.cfg" /usr/sbin/setenforce: SELinux is disabled localuser:root being added to access control list 08:32:48 Starting graphical installation. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 718, in <module> kickstart.setSteps(anaconda) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/kickstart.py", line 1517, in setSteps dispatch.request_steps("tasksel") File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/dispatch.py", line 297, in request_steps changes = map(lambda s: self.steps[s].request(self._current_step()), steps) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/dispatch.py", line 297, in <lambda> changes = map(lambda s: self.steps[s].request(self._current_step()), steps) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/dispatch.py", line 119, in request return self._reschedule(self.SCHED_REQUESTED, current_step) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/dispatch.py", line 98, in _reschedule self.namesched(to_sched))) pyanaconda.errors.DispatchError: Can not reschedule step 'tasksel' from 'skipped' to 'requested' /usr/sbin/setenforce: SELinux is disabled Actual results: See above. Expected results: The anaconda graphical installer would appear using the kickstart file: "k.cfg". Additional info:
We're working on a new UI that doesn't involve any dispatcher at all, so there's not really any point in working on this for now. It won't be an issue in the next release.
Chris: When you say next release are you referring to Fedora 17 or a new release of anaconda with Fedora 16. Thanks...
Fedora 17. We only work on a version until the release hits the streets so the Fedora 16 version of Anaconda is now frozen.
Hi rwhalb, We were able to work around this issue by adding an empty %packages section to our kickstart file. eg. %packages %end Regards, Rob (In reply to comment #0) > Description of problem: > With Fedora 16 using a kickstart file with the anaconda 'liveinst' installer > fails when doing a hard disk install.
