forgot to mention - the install attempt was for Fedora workstation. I repeated the install for the default of fedora server and that seems to have completed with no errors. the difference between the two is likely live vs. non-live, not actually workstation vs. server. What was on the disk prior to the attempt to install Workstation? can you still reproduce this if you try again to install Workstation, over Server in the same VM, or in a new VM? ah, you used the netinst image both times - so I guess what happened is you just needed a second attempt, it probably didn't matter what package set you picked. Tried to reproduce this in the most obvious way (just install over an existing default F21 install) but couldn't, there must be something more specific about it. Probably related to the pre-existing lvm that was on the disk, which would have been cleared by this attempt, thus allowing the second attempt to succeed. It probably has something to do with lvmetad or, more likely, systemd or udev holding the PV (sda2) open when we try to remove the partition. yeah, that's what I figured - but when you install over an existing F21 there's an existing LV called 'fedora', right? So there must have been something odd/unique about this person's specific existing install or the VBox environment or *something*... Answering from a few comments back: The initial attempt failed 3x. The first time it was a new VM so nothing else was present afaik. The two times after that on workstation, there was a 'reclaim space' option when selecting the same disk so I used that. For the attempt that succeeded (4th try) with cloud server default, again, I picked the same disk and did a reclaim space. I tried now with a new VM for workstation and that did install all the way. I'm not getting the GUI after rebooting, but I'm guessing that's something to do with a netinstall that I need to dig up on. (My first netinstall...does it show :-) I will try to reproduce by using the same disk that failed and will post results here. Okay used the same virtual disk as the first time and the workstation install worked. I can't reproduce this problem. Should I close this ticket? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1158975 *** |
Description of problem: Testing 64 bit netinstall for Fedora 22-Rawhide 01/07/2015 image. Platform - MacBook 2,1 - OS X 10.6.8, 4G RAM VM - Attempting netinstall in VirtualBox 4.3.20, with 2G RAM and 20G disk space allocated. Anaconda comes up and I get to the point of adding root password, etc while it sets up the installation environment. Failed twice, the first time it locked up my laptop so could not get a bug report, but it got to the point of: "creating ext4 on /dev/mapper/fedora-root" before it hung. This time, it is hung at 'Setting up the installation environment".
