Description
It appears that there is a bug in the software when attempting to kickstart a vm guest and using the grub boot parameter 'console=ttyS0'. I have been using the following parameters:
Parameters: RHEL-6.2/vmlinuz initrd=RHEL-6.2/initrd.img ks=http://<ip of ks server>/profile/kick1.ks ksdevice=bootif noipv6 console=tty0 console=ttyS0,9600 BOOTIF=01-08-00-27-42-1a-aa
When I attempt to kickstart this vm guest with the above parameters I get the error - Segfault at 0 ip error. See https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=48194 for further documentation on the issue including the VBox.log file. I have narrowed the problem down by removing the parameters one by one and determined when the 'console=ttyS0,9600' option is included that the vm guest will not kickstart properly. I also tried 'console=ttyS0' and got the same results. RH support believes this may be a bug in simulating the console port correctly. I am using anaconda 13.21.149 in case that was not clear in the forum discussion. Let me know if there is anything else you need from me.
Please reopen if still relevant with a recent VirtualBox release.
