Is this reproducible? It looks like we're trying to read a directory instead of a file, but I don't see how that could be reading the code. If it is reproducible, can you go into the debug prompt and type up up print bootDev ? The first attempt to reproduce this bug, hung in package install at glibc-kernheaders ("15 minutes remaining"). The second attempt completed the whole fresh install successfully. Although the "white box" hardware has been reliably running RHEL3 (taroon), Fedora Core 3, and other systems, I then ran memtest86+ for 5 hours (4 complete passes) with no failures. Rebooting RHEL4 Beta2, I observed kernel bug and oopses: bug 139638. Trying to run up2date to check for a new kernel, I found xmlrpc.redhat.com was not responding. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow. Seen it again? I did not try again. This fell off the bottom of the list of things to do. |
