[rhn-users] kickstart post scripts always ignored

[Lamon, Frank III]

I've seen similar symptoms in the past - it was always a script that had been edited on a Windows machine in our case (stupid end of line characters). If your script has been touch with a win editor try running the dos2unix command against the script to clean it up and try it again - always worked for us.

Subject: [rhn-users] kickstart post scripts always ignored


Lately I have been having problems getting stuff to run in the %post
section in my kickstarts.  I never use to have a problem running %post
stuff but lately I have tried multiple times to use a kickstart file
and have it perform tasks in the %post section but everytime I try it
fails to run anything in %post.  Below is a paste of a ks.cfg file I
have tried using.  Does anyone see anything wrong with this?  The
runlevels, nor users never get created and it never runs my mounted
script.

Thanks,
Nick Baronian
