Jacquet From the limited info supplied - sounds like an rpm install is failing/hanging when being executed during kickstart process You have tried running this outside of kickstart and are you satisfied that in isolation this rpm install works <ul> <li>These are some questions that i might ask myself in your situation ... hope it helps</ul> Have you tried using yum instead of rpm <a href="http://www.databook.bz/?page_id=201">http://www.databook.bz/?page_id=201</a> Have other kickstart rpm installs worked or is this the one and only rpm / rpm failure Have you confirmed that the repo is accessible on first boot - Could you have it local install by downloading it prior to build Is it being run at the correct point ie is this running before its prerequisites are up and running Does this rpm require both x86 and x64 versions to be installed together Does this rpm require addition rpms - see yum Does this rpm require addition rpms that need to be downgraded before it can be installed Have you got any more logging - can you execute via a script with logging Regards, Andrew Pitcairn-Hill PLEASE ENSURE ANY COMPANY LOGOS/ PICTURES ARE REMOVED ON YOUR REPLIES AS THESE EMAILS ARE BLOCKED BY OUR SYSTEMS P Please don't print this email unless you really need too From: Jacquet Romain <romain.jacquet@telespazio.com> To: Discussion list about Kickstart <kickstart-list@redhat.com> Date: 30/09/16 13:47 Subject: RE: Kickstart hangs on at the end of postinstall Sent by: <kickstart-list-bounces@redhat.com> <hr noshade> 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.

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/ Andrew Simpson On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 5:03 AM, Jacquet Romain <<a href=mailto:romain.jacquet@telespazio.com target=_blank>romain.jacquet@telespazio.com</a>> wrote: 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?
