hi,

I think some of the CentOS/RH/Fedora kickstart templates are out of date. 

I have opened a defect to track this problem(
https://sourceforge.net/p/xcat/bugs/3742/), hope can be fixed in xCAT 
2.8.3.


thanks

best regards

I can confirm that I had to make the same changes when I first got to 6.2.

I just ran into problem that took me far too long to debug. I'm hoping

documented. 
I created a new install osimage based on the 
centos6.4-x86_64-install-storage one that is created after running 
copycds. By default it uses the template: 
/opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/storage.centos6.tmpl 

That file along with many other templates include options that will cause 
Anaconda to fail. What made it take so long to debug is that I couldn't 
get it to tell me why it was failing when it was booting from tftp. I had 
to load a DVD and tell that to boot from the generated kickstart file on 
the server. 
The bad options are documented as deprecated in RedHat's documentation and 
they are as follows: 

langsupport 
mouse 
--resolvedeps (on the %packages line) 

Removing those allowed the kickstart to continue on my CentOS 6.4 build. I 
assume the same problem with show up with any RedHat or CentOS 6.x build. 

If I'm totally off base on this and had something else messed up please 
let me know. I have verified that these options are still in many 
templates that are labeled with a 6 in the current git repository. 

Thanks,
