refernce onpart or ondisk. (It is intended to run on a machine with a
sda drive that I wish to preserve) and a sdb drive (that is completely
unallocated space) and is the drive I wish to install on.
As I said above, it fails (as is) but WILL WORK BY ADDING JUST ONE
CHAR. That is, comment out with a # char line 25 (logging info) line
to have it be parsed correctly and the OS be installed.
Now, I have seen this behavior with the orginal F8 pykistart prog (ver.
-18-) but not with -19- (until now). I may be wrong, but seems that
to reproduce the prob, lines like this fail ONLY in certain cases.
If that is the case, this may be corruption in the paring buffer
(overflow, for example). I know from my many experiements that
commenting out this line is NOT ENOUGH when either "onpart OR odisk"
is used.
Here is the bad parse ks.cfg
