Can you attach the full dump you received? What I pasted above is all I have. BTW, installing by FTP worked. This should be better in fc3. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040126 Description of problem: First installation on a new machine, anaconda crashes shortly after formatting with traceback (/usr/lib/anaconda/) gui.py, line 1048, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() rw/progress_gui.py, line 242 in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() gui.py, line 763, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() dispatch.py, line 169, in gotoNext self.moveStep() dispatch.py, line 237, in moveStep rc=apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) packages.py, line 673, in doPreInstall method.mergeFullHeaders("%s//%s/base/hdlist2" % (self.tree, productPath)) hrdlist.py, line 336, in mergeFullHeaders rpm.mergeHeaderListFromFD(self.hdlist,fd,1000004) IndexError: list is out of range What does "FD" refer to? Installation medium in general or literal floppy disk? The installation is run from CD and the machine has no floppy. This happens in both graphical and text mode. I tried custom installation with some extra packages and minimal installation, both crashed. The machine is an ASUS A7V266-EX, Athlon 1300+, 512 MB RAM, no swap. The installation CD passes its own test. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installing 2. Crash 3. Continue cursing the buggiest RH release ever
