Changing component to something a bit more appropriate... Created attachment 100412 [details]
anacona dump file shows problem with ram0 line 4154 onwards
anaconda dump file shows ram0 problem

/dev and /etc listings and mount table after failure
The original bug comment should say /dev directory is corrupt. NOT /mnt/sysimage/dev !!!! Does this box pass memtest86 >? I have run memtest86+ v1.15 for over 2hrs on default test sequence
Zero errors !

I've had similar problems trying to install FC2 x86_64 on my box. Basically, I don't get an error but the CPU will just stop sucking data from the disc and it will just sit there. So, this may be a separate bug. However, I've been having issues tweaking my motherboard, where I find most of my problems lie (and which I'm slowly elimating). I have a K8V SE Deluxe. Ahtlon64 3000 CPU. Note the *SE*. ASUS made a number of changes to the K8V Deluxe on their Second Edition model. I'm noticing that a number of distros haven't taken this in to consideration. Anyway, it's a shot in the dark, but I thought I'd check, in case, at its root, we're dealing with the same problem. Rory Gleeson Toronto, Canada 15-6-2004 Reran memory tests for 11 hours following help from fedora-list (KAS) Still no errors However ... I have now managed to install FC2 I tried many more times,different install combinations, finally re-partitioning the hard disk (KAS) having sda1 /boot 100MB sda2 / 75GB sda3 swap 3GB instead of sda1 / 76GB sda2 swap 2GB Did a full install ie ticking every box but NOT the Everything box about 4.2GB not 6.7GB No boot loader installed on sda The POST INSTALL did not fall over but I am sure this is because for some reason it no longer has to open /dev/null. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The /dev directory is still corrupt !!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel sure there is still a problem with accessing over the end of /dev/ram0 during install, it is just that some (most) install sequences don't need to use the address space that has been corrupted. J Austin See bug number 124029. The work around for me was to use linux mem=256M when installing. My HW MB: Tyan Tomcat K8S(S2850G2N) Processor: AMD Opteron 146 (2GHz) RAM: 1 GB HD: Maxtor 80GB 7200 RPM IDE ULTRA ATA 133 Maybe it's a problem with x86_64 systems with more that X MB of memory where X > 256M. I have a tyan k8w with dual opterons 512 meg of memory, radeon 9200. The adding of mem=256M made it so I could complete the install. Now I reboot and all the screen says is GRUB No cusor, nothing. Dave K8W dual opteron is a known to work tested configuration. The screen saying GRUB and nothing else suggests a very different problem with GRUB being unable to find the rest of its loaded. Thats a known problem if you tried to install on the SI controller and raid is enabled for it in the bios (because BIOS raid and Linux don't agree and there is a distinct lack of docs on the bios raid layout) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 119447 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
Description of problem: Installation fails during Post Install of FC2-x86_64 File /usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py line 1048 in handleRenderCallback File /usr/lib/anacona/iw/progress_gui.py line 242 File /usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py line 763 File /usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py line 169 File /usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py line 237 File /usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py line 1125 devnull= os.open("/dev/null",os.O_RDWR) OSError:[Errno1]Operation not permitted:'/dev/null' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 2 x86_64 The same problem was present in FC2T2 but Not in FCT3 !! Upon inspection of the dev directory from Cont/Alt/F2 /mnt/sysimage/dev is corrupt as shown with an ls -l The layout is correct but ? marks and large numbers present in the listing - No correct /dev/null entry !!!! Upon mounting the incomplete install disk the /dev directory is OK How reproducible: Very for a full install, I have managed one successful install with the smallest install option. Tried approx 10 times with FC2T2 and FC2 Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: The machine is a Shuttle SN85G4 The same happens on a PATA /dev/hda1 install and with SATA /dev/sda1 install The DVD version was used for installation Just about possible to get the failed install to boot but obviously most of the post install stuff hasn't happened. No passwd, network, X configuration etc
