My full (obsufscated) args are: method=http://centos/7.0.1406/os/x86_64 ksdevice=eth0 lang= text net.ifnames=0 ks=http://cobbler/ks ip=4.X.X.X::4.X.X.X:255.255.225.224:test.domain.com:eth0:none:10.10.10.1:10.10.10.2 kssendmac No idea how to determine what commands were run as a result of this. This is an anaconda install, so not sure what interaction there might be with that. Same result with F21, rawhide is uninstallable today so can try that. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion@xxxxxxxx Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.nwra.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
