Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 875644
Kickstart upgrade doesn't reboot to upgraded system
Last modified: 2015-09-27 22:26:40 EDT
Description of problem: When kickstart upgrade is performed on s390x, anaconda shuts down the system instead of rebooting although "reboot" command is present in kickstart. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-13.21.183-1.el6 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install previous version of RHEL. Following partitioning was used: bootloader --location=mbr zerombr clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --asprimary --size=500 --label=boot part swap --fstype=swap --recommended --label=swap part / --grow --size=2048 2. prepare kickstart for upgrade - make sure that "reboot" command is present: upgrade lang en_US.UTF-8 keyboard us reboot cmdline bootloader --upgrade 3. run kickstart upgrade Actual results: system is halted after upgrade Expected results: system is rebooted after upgrade Additional info: When running manual upgrade, anaconda successfully reboots at the end of the upgrade. I'm able to reproduce only on s390x, x86_64 works as expected.
Pushing this off to RHEL6.5 planning since it's not a 6.4 blocker.
