Description Alexandre Oliva 2004-07-09 14:59:19 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510

Description of problem:
Traceback issued by anaconda when booted in rescue mode:
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 592, in ?
    rescue.runRescue(rootPath, not escue_nomount, id)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 167, in runRescue
    os.symlink('/mnt/runtime/etc/' + file, '/etc/' + file)
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-10.0.1-2.src.rpm

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot the rescue CD in the default mode.

Actual Results:  The exception above.

Expected Results:  Enter rescue mode.

Additional info:

The fact that I have LVM on this system may have something to do with
the presence of /etc.  Unfortunately I can't test this theory because
all of my boxes have LVM.

Actually caused by a last minute change to workaround brokenness in
libselinux :/

Fixed in CVS

Comment 5 Leonard den Ottolander 2004-08-09 23:55:08 UTC
Note that bug 129347 is about running rescue mode over NFS, using (non
anonymous) FTP doesn't give me the same error.


Comment 6 Leonard den Ottolander 2004-08-10 15:53:12 UTC
boot.iso and base from 2004-08-09 fix the NFS issue for me.

Not sure what "Boot the rescue CD in the default mode" means (what is
the rescue CD?) but I guess this bug can be closed RAWHIDE.
