More Anaconda & Kadischi

[dex]

Howdy Doody,

While still building a live-cd anaconda fails when using a kickstart file.

1.using minimal-livecd.cfg

[kadischi]: running anaconda
The following error was found while parsing your kickstart configuration:
The following problem occurred on line 5 of the kickstart file:
Unknown command: langsupport

commenting out line 5 gets past this.

2.Next anaconda goes off into an endless loop and doesn't come back! until 
Ctrl-c.

using command:

kadischi -C --kickstart=Desktop/minimal-livecd-dex.cfg \
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/...

\ iso/fedora-live.iso

removing the kickstart option results in a graphical or text install ???
which then fails on system-config-network-tui-1.3.96-1.fc6.noarch.rpm as per 
other email.

...dex

It might give you some insight to where it is stuck
by opening the /tmp/anaconda.log file when it gets stuck.

I'll try to see if I can reproduce the issue, but it will be later today 
or tomorrow morning until I can get around to it.

I cannot reproduce this issue.
A few things I can think of are possible filesystem and/or package 
corruption
not enough RAM in the machine, slower type processor.

That's about it with the information given.
Can you post the livecd.cfg kickstart file you are actually using that 
does this..
and can you also attach the /tmp/anaconda.log when the stalling occurs?

hello jasper,

This box is good enuff 1gb ram athlon-xp 2600 2ghz MSI-6570 sata-promise fake 
raid rawhide, using original kickstart minimal.cfg with line 5: langsupport 
commented out.

anaconda.log when stalled:

I did manage to spin a minimal cd by not using any kickstart file and not 
selecting anything from anaconda-gui all rpms were grabbed successfully this 
time here is the kickstart file it left:

# dexters minimal-kickstart file for uk-locale
install
url --url http://mirror.atrpms.net/fedoracore/development/i386/os
lang en_GB.UTF-8
keyboard uk
network --device eth0 --bootproto dchp

firewall --disabled 
authconfig --enableshadow --enablemd5
selinux --disabled
timezone Europe/London
bootloader --location=none
#
#
#
%packages
@british-support
@core

This booted ok after the nash & mkisofs problems mentioned in another email.
Of course feeding this file back into anaconda via kadischi or command line 
results in 99% usage failure as above, rpm -V anaconda gives a clean bill of 
health. 
Trying to select anything ambitious like a kde desktop results in anaconda 
trying to grab non existant rpms off the mirrors.

BZ#240038

On another note after about 7 or 8 good runs of kadischi it refused to start 
with:

I can't reproduce this issue here using the latest May 12th RAWHIDE tree
using kickstart, text nor graphical methods.

Not with Kadischi.
What kernel are you running under when this happens?

       The langsupport keyword is deprecated and its use will cause an
       error message to be printed to the screen and installation to halt.
       Instead of using the langsupport keyword, you should now list the
       support package groups for all languages you want supported in the
       %packages section of your kickstart file.  For instance, adding
       support for French means you should add the following to %packages:

           @french-support


...dex
