This is just for your information as I am certain you are working furiously. I did some testing building a Fedora 19 guest VM on a Fedora 18 host machine Here is the kickstart script I used: authconfig --enableshadow --passalgo=sha512 autopart --type=lvm bootloader --boot-drive=vda --location=mbr cdrom clearpart --all --drives=vda --initlabel firstboot --disable ignoredisk --only-use=vda install keyboard --vckeymap=us --xlayouts=us lang en_US.UTF-8 network --bootproto=dhcp --device=eth0 --hostname=fedora19.hunter.org --nameserver=192.168.1.11 --noipv6 --activate reboot rootpw --iscrypted $6$82gtiKgE7AvH./ic $TeDjrPrkQ19ULsPEzxStyqzkfRaGvKn0NpSB4ekV98hJOABaO5uQDzQmlCy8t7RwytXzS3t/yRyGZA.8ez2wf/ text timezone America/Chicago --isUtc user --name=local --gecos="Local Administrator" --password=$6 $82gtiKgE7AvH./ic $Cxa598KQzrJ94M2aYzdV0ifOUcLYqbAh0RNvsmiC2hkdX/Xald.EVVNf/MmD4mTeeojBNPBNcY7XcBfgMoSqq/ --iscrypted xconfig --startxonboot %packages @base-x @core @dial-up @firefox @fonts @gnome-desktop @hardware-support @input-methods @multimedia @printing @standard %end I found a few things you might want to add to your list: 1) I am always prompted for an install destination to confirm the disk layout even though autopart and clearpart are specified that save as in anaconda-ks.cfg after a manual build. 2) The setup agent always runs even though firstboot is disabled and the equivalent information is provided in the keyboard, lang, timezone and user statements. 3) The --nameserver is entered correctly into ifcfg-eth0 but it is not enabled. When I examine the configuration with Network Manager, in the DNS section on the IPV4 screen, I must set automatic to off to enable the name server specified by kickstart. 4) Text mode must be specified with kickstart as the graphic mode fails. Graphic mode works fine without kickstart. Thank you for all your efforts and I hope this is helpful. _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
