I'm trying to get kickstart from a hard disk working using the following
in my ks.cfg
harddrive --partition /dev/hda6 --dir cdrom
The installation starts, but fails to start an X server and falls back
to a text mode install. The same ks.cfg, except that it uses nfs, does
start the X server.
Installation proceeds until the postinstall section is reached (this
seems to be before my customised post install script is run), whereupon
it bombs out with a python traceback (see below). As this is complaining
about xmouse, maybe it is related to the X server error above.
Can anyone suggest what I need to do to fix this?
Traceback:
