Are you sure its not backgrounding? I've not pinned down the exact cause, but I've had a similar problem in the past. I found that an explicit `exit` at the end of %pre solved my problem.

It looks, like the job control is not working at this moment (when i use one terminal of this client system to install and i test it there, job control is working ... while the %pre-script is still in foreground.). So, what is still wrong? Is there a kernel option or an anaconda option to control this behaviour? Thanx for any help.

Well, i am a beginner in cobbler and maybe my problem is a bash problem, but when i use keep_ssh_host_keys i have two problems: When i use keep_ssh_host_keys as snippet, i see while kickstart is running: Unknown command: <!DOCTYPE Why? Well, than i put the whole keep_ssh_host_keys script in my kickstart file and now the script is running until the last part (i can see, the keys are saved in /tmp): # Loop until the corresponding rpm is installed if [ "$keys_found" = "yes" ]; then while : ; do sleep 10 if [ -d /mnt/sysimage$SEARCHDIR ] ; then cp -af /tmp/$TEMPDIR/${PATTERN}* /mnt/sysimage$SEARCHDIR logger "keys copied to newly installed system" break fi done & fi The kickstart process stopped and i think the loop is running, but not in the background, so the installation process cannot proceed. Why? Thanx for any help!
