Description Bruce Orchard 2006-02-03 05:50:27 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060111 Firefox/1.5.0.1

Description of problem:
Environment:  Dell XPS 400
Intel 945 chipset raid configured in mirroring (raid 1), 2 drives
(Dell shipped the drives in striping (rade 0) configuration; I changed it to mirroring.  I have not written anything on the disk since the change.)

The error is unhandled exception

I think it was getting ready to ask how to partition the disk drives.

End of traceback:

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

2.Answer language, etc. questions

Actual Results:  Unhandled exception

Expected Results:  The partition screen should have appeared

Can you please provide the full traceback?

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2006-02-06 17:05:33 UTC

This is still not the full traceback -- please actually save the traceback
you're given and attach it here.  There is valuable context information that is
left out by just giving line numbers.

Comment 4 Bruce Orchard 2006-02-07 15:52:44 UTC

I haven't found a way to save the debugging output, including the traceback.  As
far as I can tell, the network has not been set up at the time of the abort so
the scp option does not work.


Anyway, here is some more of the debugging output:

This should be fixed in tomorrow's rawhide
