Description of problem: Fedora installation does not accept kickstart file written on DVD Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 17 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Prepare a Fedora 17 DVD with a kickstart file wirtten on it 2. Boot and direct the installation program to use the kickstart file on the DVD 3. Endup in a dracut debug shell Actual results: Installation ends up in a dracut debug shell saying it cannot do initqueue Expected results: Read the kickstart file and according to this onfo do the installation. Additional info: I use the following grub.conf: default=0 timeout=20 splashimage=(cd)/boot/cfl.xpm.gz title Local disk root (hd0) chainloader +1 title Fedora 17 root (cd) kernel /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz nomodeset ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg root=live:CDLABEL=CFL17 initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img title Destructieve installation Fedora 17 root (cd) kernel /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz nomodeset ks=cdrom:/cfl.cfg root=live:CDLABEL=CFL17 initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img title Test Fedora 17 root (cd) kernel /images/pxeboot/vmlinuz nomodeset root=live:CDLABEL=CFL17 initrd /images/pxeboot/initrd.img The last option (without kickstart directive) can succesfully install Fedora, so I rule out DVD composing errors.
Please attach /tmp/anaconda.log to this bug report.
Created attachment 593801 [details] Dracut screen At the moment I end up in a dracut debug shell there is no /tmp/anaconda.log (yet). I attach a photo of the screen.
This seems like it might be a duplicate of bug 828589. Does it work if you do 'ks=cdrom:/dev/cdrom:/ks.cfg' instead?
Yes the notation of comment 3 works.
