So, chalk this up to another "I spent way too long trying to figure out
why anaconda acts a certain way" type issue, but I just saw my first
congratulations screen since kickstarting my own custom ES 4 installers.
In previous versions (and maybe it was just AS 2.1), this worked fine in
the %post section:
/sbin/service network start
/sbin/service portmap start
ifconfig $ETH_ACTIVE $ip up
/usr/sbin/ntpdate $NTPSERVER
In ES 4, these commands somehow (haven't figured out how yet) cause the
install to crash (throws a traceback referenced in previous email) after
the post section has been run and before the congrats screen.
I'm hoping this email will hopefully save someone else the agony I have
just lived through trying to debug this. Btw - I was getting the same
problems on two types of hardware doing PXE nfs installs, and the
hardware checked out fine.

Steve -
Sorry for not keeping current on this issue, so please forgive my
ignorance, but I have a few questions that might yield solutions.
Are $ETH_ACTIVE and $ip defined variables? What about $NTPSERVER?
These may very well be set by Anaconda at install-time, but if they're
not, and you don't set them, this would cause a problem, no?
Thanks
