Crash Dump
You appear to have specified to place partitions on the disk sdc which isn't present in your system. Shouldn't I get an error such as "no device found sdc" instead of a crash? I will try using a different device, which probably will fix it, but I still think that the installer should not crash, but exit with an error. Kickstart doesn't always report invalid inputs in the most user friendly of ways. Changes for that are listed as an RFE filed elsewhere. RHEL4 will at least do slightly better about giving more understandable tracebacks and then hopefully for RHEL5, we'll have things so that the errors get reported up in an even more user-friendly fashion. |
