Hi all, I have a kickstart script for installing Fedora 28 that has a
somewhat large %pre script. When anaconda tries to run it, it fails;
====
Oct 16 07:38:55 localhost org.fedoraproject.Anaconda.Boss[1704]:
INFO:anaconda.modules.boss.module_manager:All modules are ready now.
Oct 16 07:38:55 localhost anaconda[1641]: anaconda: kickstart.script:
Running kickstart %%pre script(s)
Oct 16 07:38:55 localhost anaconda[1641]: anaconda: stdout: Running
pre-installation scripts

/tmp/ks-script-e3w92zo7
Oct 16 07:38:55 localhost anaconda[1641]: program: Error running :

====
The script itself, when run manually, succeeds;
====
[anaconda root@localhost tmp]# /tmp/ks-script-e3w92zo7
Finding install drive for a Striker dashboard.
Analyzing platter drive: [/dev/vda], using the transport: [], of the
size: [21474836480 (20.00 GiB)]
Selected the largest disk: [/dev/vda], which has a capacity of: [20.00 GiB]
Writing out the partition plan to: [/tmp/plan_partitions.out]
Completed successfully, exiting.
====
This sounded like an SELinux denial, so I set 'selinux --permissive' to
debug, and it still gets the same error;
====
[anaconda root@localhost ~]# sestatus
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory: /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name: targeted
Current mode: permissive
Mode from config file: error (Success)
Policy MLS status: enabled
Policy deny_unknown status: allowed
Memory protection checking: requested (insecure)

====
Any thoughts on debugging?
