Description Frank Griffin 2018-02-16 14:18:07 CET

The Feb15 stage1 is bypassing the usual prompts for install type, NIC, and HTTP proxy, and appears to be be automatically doing an HTTP install using the only NIC on the VM(fair enough) and using a server of 192.168.0.10 which doesn't exist.

tty3 has a bunch of messages starting with AUTOMATIC which indicate that it is getting automatic answers to these prompts from some set of parameters, e. g.

AUTOMATIC: parameter http for method means returning HTTP server
...
AUTOMATIC: question Mageia directory answers /mageia/unstable/x86_64 because of param directory

Seems like someone left test code enabled unintentionally ?

Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2018-02-16 15:16:12 CET

seems that happened here:
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/drakx-installer-images/current/SPECS/drakx-installer-images.spec?r1=1199917&r2=1200140

It just needs a "#" before this line in the current spec file 
http://svnweb.mageia.org/packages/cauldron/drakx-installer-images/current/SPECS/drakx-installer-images.spec?revision=1201566&view=markup#l141
(or all the new lines after #HOME should be removed, because they weren't there before)

Thanks Marja.  Can you submit a rebuild of the install images and mdkinst.sqfs ?

No, I don't have push rights, but tmb submitted drakx-installer-images-2.49-10.mga7 (rebuild with kernel-4.14.20-1.mga7) less than an hour ago, which contains the fix
