Description of problem: Anaconda does open installation trees that are defined in the kickstart file. Packages from this trees can not be installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 18-Beta-RC1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a normal installation tree on your network with the Fedora packages. 2. Create a second installation tree, that has packages, not available in the first tree. 3. Make a kickstart file that has the first tree pointed at by the line 'url --url=<url>', and the second tree by 'repo --name "Name" --baseurl=<url>'. 4. Make sure that in the Packages-section of the kickstart file there is a packages only avalable from the second tree. 5. Start the kickstart installation. Actual results: Anaconda reports that it can't find the packages from the second tree. Expected results: Anaconda should use the package tree pointed to by the repo statement and install the requested packages. Additional info: It looks to me that anconda is not reading the repo lines from the kickstart file. In the log-files there is no reference to the url from the second tree. So also no error referring to this tree is logged.
Please attach /tmp/packaging.log and /tmp/anaconda.log to this bug report. Thanks.
Created attachment 652203 [details] Requested logs I did some more testing and found, that kickstart also does not use the network configuration from the kickstart file. In my kickstart file I defined a static addressing for the network interface. Instead during installation and on the new installed system network is configured over DHCP. In a network without DHCP this installation fails because there is no network configured.
Kickstart network configuration is not applied because of missing --device option. Perhaps ksdevice boot option would be used (had it been set). The logic of default --device value we used to have in loader was not implemented in dracut.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
