To answer my own question: It seems that the X screen will have the window "Installing Bootloader" up through-out the whole %post section. This is the last thing done before running the post script and it doesn't remove this window before proceeding. In my case I had a bad command in the first line of my post script that was simply running and never returning nor creating any output, so the machine just hung seemingly while loading GRUB but in actuality it was already in the post section. Hope this helps someone else too. Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sean P.

I am getting to the point where grub is being installed and kickstart just seems to sit there forever. It is printing a few errors to one of the VTs, but I'm not sure it is related, they seem like NFS issues (and I am doing the kickstart over NFS, but it generally seems to be working): portmap: server localhost not responding, timed out lockd_up: makesock failed, error:-5 My bootloader line looks like this: bootloader --md5pass=imnottelling --location=mbr --append "hdc=ide-scsi" Any thoughts?
