Anaconda core dump, as saved to floppy when the error occurred.
I would recommend testing your media if you have not already. This appears to be due to an error loading the python sources from the install media. Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have any further information to add to this bug report |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98) Opera 7.10 [en] Description of problem: Upgrading RedHat Linux 7.2 to RedHat Linux 9 from CD. CD boots fine, identifies my monitor and video card and asks me to select mouse manually. This then functions correctly when graphical installer launches. I select language (English), keyboard (United Kingdom) and mouse again (serial generic 2-button with 3-button emulation on COM1). Then it tells me it is searching for existing versions of RedHat. The progress bar moves fairly rapidly (5 seconds) and completes. This dialog disappears and then the Unhandled Exception - Syntax Error is reported. The following is copied from the attached anacdump. I believe it is the same as the Unhandled Exception reported in the dialog box at the time. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 764, in nextClicked self.setScreen () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 960, in setScreen exec s File "<string>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/examine_gui.py", line 17, in ? from package_gui import * File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/package_gui.py", line 1068 i column = gtk.TreeViewColumn('Text', renderer, text = 1) ^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See description above. I have tried using computer as-is and also switching the CMOS to fail-safe settings. I recall that this enabled me to install version 7.2 successfully. However, I get the same error with or without fail-safe settings. Additional info:
