If you run into the following error while trying to install Fedora 14 on VMware Workstation.
——–
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.

It is because VMware is trying to use its automated installation media which is in the first virtual CD/DVD drive and the Fedora ISO is in the second virtual CD/DVD drive.
The issue was resolved when I removed the second virtual CD/DVD drive and then set the first drive to the Fedora ISO.
Fedora 14 64bit Install – Section does not end with %%end.

Thank you. It worked for me.

Thanks for posting this! I had a similar problem with Parallels on OS X. After pointing both CD/DVD virtual drives to the iso image, it booted right up and continued the install.

Hi,
I just came across this issue. How exactly did you remove the second virtual CD/DVD drive and then set the first drive to the Fedora ISO?
Cheers ,

Is it not simply that one of the sections in the kickstart does not end with “%end”. For example %packages section?
