Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-03 16:54:33 UTC 
It works if you specify them manually, right?
Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2004-08-03 16:57:16 UTC 
It works fine to specify them when asked for them -- just not on the
kernel command line.
Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-03 16:58:56 UTC 
What's the last bit on tty3 when it segfaults?
Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2004-08-03 17:20:32 UTC 
* sending dhcp request through device eth0
Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-03 17:40:20 UTC 
Committed something to CVS that might fix it (not exactly sure where
you're hitting it and I don't have a spare laptop at home to test
with).  Will be in tomorrow's tree.
Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2004-08-05 10:51:35 UTC 
Today's rawhide tree (including
anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040803165421.i386.rpm) still shows the problem. 
No difference.
Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2004-08-17 12:07:08 UTC 
This still happens.  anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040813144102.i386.rpm
Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2004-10-13 15:21:53 UTC 
This still happens.  anaconda-10.0.3.16-1.i386.rpm
Comment 9 Jeremy Katz 2005-04-12 21:21:19 UTC 
Committed something to fix this to CVS
Comment 10 Tim Waugh 2005-05-24 10:16:10 UTC 
No, still happens with anaconda-10.2.0.64-1.i386.rpm.
Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2005-05-25 15:13:21 UTC 
Worked in my test case, will look at more
Comment 12 Chris Lumens 2006-03-02 15:30:20 UTC 
Is this still happening with test3?  We have some better debugging stuff in the
loader now that should at least allow us to narrow down where the segfault is
happening.
