Re: Kickstart hangs on at the end of postinstall

Can you use "ps" to see what process is stuck? Strace it and see why it is stuck exactly?
What happens if you run the rpm command after install at first boot?
I love using bash -i at post stage and debug my script... Try running the command and see what is the output, whats getting in your way.
Also as a workaround, if you can hunt down the nutty pid that, you can kill it in post stage, and hopefully anaconda will finish.

Thanks,

Hi Andrew,

    Thank you very much for answer. Yes, I’m logging the post-install with “%post --logfile /var/log/ks-post.log”. When the installer is stuck I can see the ouput in /mnt/sysimage/var/log/ks-post.log. The extract looks like:

    […] // very long stuff

     rpm –Uv my-daemon-ftp.rpm // faulty RPM

     […] // very long stuff again

    End of postinstallation // echo at the end the installation

 

  So the daemon installation does not stop the post-installation. Another workaround is to stop the daemon just after the update in the kickstart file. So it is like anaconda cannot restart with the daemon running. Do you have another idea? Is it possible to have a more detailed log of anaconda?

 

  Best regards.

are you logging the post section that you're installing it in?  Assuming you're seeing the logs/output and this is the last message, it's probably not hanging on that RPM.  It's probably hanging on the next command in the post section, which hasn't been printed out yet.  comment out the RPM install  portion and see what's hanging.  If it is indeed hanging on the rpm, then there's probably an issue with one of the scriptlets in the rpm spec file.  The were likely be a log of that somewhere under /tmp or /var/log/anaconda/

Hello everybody,

    I’m struggling to find a bug caused by a RPM update in the postinstall section. The line looks like: “rpm –Uvh my-daemon-package” and update a daemon. I’m using a CentOS 6.6 and its anaconda 13.21.229.

With this line in the kickstart, anaconda never ends. The only way to stop anaconda is to use the shell in the virtual terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F2) and kill the daemon. It is like anaconda is waiting for something to be released. Do you know what could prevent anaconda from rebooting?

 

   Best regards.
