Shankha,
Resending due to mailing list email address change - I'm sorry if this causes duplicates :)
It's probably being printed on tty5 but don't quote me on that.
You can switch console screen by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1 (F1, F2, F3, etc...), one of them has your output!
I wrote a debug script a while back to allow me to poke around during the installation.
The script starts an SSH server and switches the user terminal - installation will be halted until you exit the debug mode.
In my kickstart-pre.sh script I call the function using the following command, you can utilize it in your post script in the same way.
# Call debug script
/usr/bin/openvt -c 6 -s -l -w -f ${scriptPath}/debug-kickstart
Not sure if pasting a script in the mailing list is frowned upon but here goes:
#!/bin/sh
#===================================================================================
# Title : debug-kickstart
#
# Description : Starts an SSH server and a user terminal for debugging during
# a kickstart installation
#
# Author : Firas AlShafei
#
#===================================================================================
#
# Notes : - Script formatting is best viewed in SublimeText/Notepad++
# - Must be called using openvt to enable user input
# ex. /usr/bin/openvt -c 6 -s -l -w -f debug-kickstart
#
#===================================================================================
### Enable SSH
# Copy default anaconda ssh config
cp /etc/ssh/sshd_config.anaconda /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# Create ssh keys
/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t rsa -N '' -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key > /dev/null 2>&1
/bin/ssh-keygen -q -t dsa -N '' -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key > /dev/null 2>&1
# Start ssh daemon
/bin/sshd
# Copy defualt profile
cp /.profile /tmp/
## Print debug banner
# Get IP Address
ipAddress=$(ifconfig eth0 | grep "inet addr:" | awk -F'[: ]+' '{print $4}') # Padding to maintain box dimensions padding=$(printf "%"$(( 44 - ${#ipAddress} ))"s" " ") clear echo -e '┌──────────────────────┤ ''\e[0;31mDebug Mode\e[0m'' ├──────────────────────┐'
echo -e "│ │"
echo -e "│ An SSH server has been enabled │"
echo -e "│ IP Address : ${ipAddress}${padding}│"
echo -e "│ Username : root │"
echo -e "│ Password : <blank> │"
echo -e "│ │"
echo -e "│ Issue the exit command to continue the installation │"
echo -e "│ │"
echo -e "└──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘"
/bin/bash -l

Subject: Getting post installation messages dumped on screen
Hi,
I am printing some log messages post installation through configuration file kfs.cfg
%post --nochroot
echo "XYZ"
I do not see the message on terminal. Could you please let me know where this message is getting printed to.
Is there a way to dump it on stdout.
Thanks
