Fedora 14

I am trying to install fedora 14 from a DVD ISO. The setup is starting and detects the network and hardware but then anaconda shuts down with the following message:

The following error was found while parsing the kickstart configuration file:

The following problem occurred on line 55 of the kickstart file:

Section does not end with %%end.

Install exited abnormally.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Not sure if this helps, but I have installed the DVD on physical hardware without issues. RH kickstart syntax dictates that a sub-section ends with a single percentage sign (%end). Did you run the verify on the image during the pre-installation steps?
 
Same results for two Fedora 14 .iso files

"... line 55 of the kickstart file:

Section does not end with %%end."

Fedora 14 32-bit and 64-bit yield the same message and abend. The 32-bit file was used to generate a bootable DVD from which an install succeeded on a Dell desktop PC.

I updated the Parallels code today to Version 6.0.11828.615184, and got the same results.

Mac OS X 10.6.4
 
I got the same error when I tried to install and figured out that it was due to the script that parallels created for the quick install. If you do the installation without the 'help' of Parallels (e.g. preset username etc) it will install without any issues.
 
Thanks for that!

I'm not exactly sure what that means, but I just attempted the install without accepting the defaults presented, and it ran successfully.
 
Workaround

Here's a quick hack on how I got it to install.

After you get the error message press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to switch to the installer terminal

then "vi /tmp/ks.cfg"
use the arrow keys to scroll to the bottom
with the cursor on the line that says "EOF" type "dd" then type "a" press return and then type "%%end"

Press enter, the type ESC and the type "wq" then press enter

then type "/usr/bin/anaconda"

The installation failed with 'Express installation' checked, but was successful without it checked.

Has anyone found away around this error?

Once the virtual machine is created but before you start the install look at the VM definition. I had two CD/DVD drives and the install.iso was assigned to the second one. I assigned it to the first drive and deleted the second, unneeded drive and it worked. Hope this helps.
