FC3t2 installation BUG test
This bug is still present in test 2.
I've managed to work around this BUG by disabling the drives that contain my software RAID partitions (hde=none hdg=none hdi=none hdk=none) and installing a minimal system on hda. hda is attached to the built in VIA controller on the VP6; hde-hdk are attached to a couple of Maxtor-branded Promise PDC20269 (Ultra133TX2) controllers. Note that simply installing to a partition on /dev/hda wasn't sufficient, possibly because of the swap "filesystem" on /dev/md2. It's only a guess, but I think that the BUG may be triggered when Anaconda tries to start a software RAID device. queue_work seems to be involved in starting new kernel threads, and this is the most only reason I can come up with that a new kernel thread would be created at this point in the installation process. Still there in test 3 also. Still present in RC1. Still present in RC2. is it the exact same trace in RC2 ? No further information, like a stack trace ? Created attachment 105866 [details]
BUG output from FC3rc2

serial console capture from FC3rc2
I got lazy and used a serial console to capture the BUG from FC3rc2. Scanning
through the output I noticed that there is a kernel OOPS which I never saw
before. It occurs during the "Searching for Fedora Core installations..."
phase.
Please try kernel-2.6.9-1.649 - it supposedly has a fix for the oops at least. *** Bug 137273 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Where can I find 2.6.9-1.649? Never mind. RC5 successfully installs -- no OOPS or BUG. |
