Bug 129008

Description of problem:
I just tried to update my Fedora Core 2 system to Fedora Core 3 test1,
and selected "Fedora Core 2 (/dev/hda2)" from the action screen
(upgrade or clean install). I kept upgrade selected. After that, I got
a screen saying about the kickstart, etc. I clicked Next, and then got
an unhandled exception.

Here is the traceback data:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 3 test1 (unknown version of anaconda)

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This requires a system with Fedora Core 2 installed.

1. Reboot into the FC3 test1 CD (disk 1)
2. Press enter for graphical installation
3. When you're at the "Welcome to Fedora Core" screen, click Next.
4. On the "Warning! This is pre-release software!", click Install anyway.
5. On the language screen, select "English (English)", the default
one, then click Next.
6. When you're on the Keyboard Configuration screen now, click "U.S.
English", then Next of course.
7. At the "Upgrade Examine" screen, click "Upgrade an existing
installation". The one which should be selected in the menu is "Fedora
Core 2 (/dev/hda2)", then Next.
8. On the "Upgrade Boot Loader Configuration" screen, keep "Update
boot loader configuration" selected. Then, click Next.
9. After the "Reading package information..." message, it will update
to "Finding packages to upgrade...". This is normal.
10. It will then say "Click next to begin upgrade of Fedora Core...",
with some more info. Click Next there.
11. On the "Required Install Media" message, click Continue.
12. It will then say "Transfering install image to hard drive...".
13. It will then crash.

Actual Results:  After I produced the steps, anaconda crashed again. I
did this 2 times with the same results. Extra information is in the
"Additional Information" field.

Expected Results:  Instead of crashing, FC3 should upgrade my system
and its packages. I know this is a test release - and is not
guaranteed to be stable.

I also did a media check, and the media got PASS, so it isn't the media.

Additional info:

I did not do a clean install because I do not want to lose any files
on the system - only tried an upgrade install.
