Public bug reported:
I started testing Hardy's ability to kickstart during beta with zero
issues. When Hardy went production something changed and now I am
getting GRUB errors when it comes time to install the bootloader. The
kickstart that was finishing un-attended during beta now drops to the
install menu. To continue and finish the kickstart you have to pick the
'continue with out boot loader' option. Once the system restarts GRUB
starts and the system functions properly. Attached is an image of the
error that occurs. Looking through syslog I have also found an error
message that is produced by GRUB when the kickstart is halted. This
error is: 'error: Preseeding of encrypted passwords changed! Check
installation guide.' The line we use in kickstart to install the boot
loader is 'bootloader --location=mbr
--md5pass=$1$zGQvkuRk$mkX73Zt4GuT4V8cyqPQS10' (this is the hash for
"password" and is not our actual hash). This line has not changed since
Hardy beta. No where have I been able to find documentation on how the
syntax has changed. The gui 'Kickstart Configurator' that is installed
from package system-config-kickstart even generates this line exactly
the same. I also verified that our grub password is not being
installed.
