Please attach the partition table and /etc/fstab for the 6.2 system you are upgrading - we will need this information to reproduce the problem you are seeing. Sorry for bothering you with this, the fault is probably mine since I have been running devfs on this machine. I considered changing the bug status to resolved, but leave it as it is. The error reported could have been a bit easier to understand. The fstab and partition information is included below. /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2 / ext2 defaults 1 1 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 /usr ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 /usr/local ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 /var ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy ext2 user,exec,dev,nosuid,rw,noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part7 /chrome/a ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part8 /chrome/mp3 ext2 defaults 1 2 Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 1550 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 16 128488+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda2 17 56 321300 83 Linux /dev/hda3 57 120 514080 83 Linux /dev/hda4 121 1550 11486475 5 Extended /dev/hda5 121 439 2562336 83 Linux /dev/hda6 440 758 2562336 83 Linux /dev/hda7 759 1013 2048256 83 Linux /dev/hda8 1014 1550 4313421 83 Linux Yeah I think you have uncovered the problem - there is not support for devfs currently. If you rewrite your fstab to the classic format for specifying devices you might have better luck. |
While upgrading from 6.2 and choosing to select individual packages to upgrade the installer crashes, giving me this traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 336, in run self.icw.run () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 678, in run mainloop () File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2554, in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 125, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 412, in nextClicked next = self.currentScreen.getNext () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/examine_gui.py", line 19, in getNext self.todo.upgradeFindPackages (self.root) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 919, in upgradeFindPackages if self.fstab.hasDirtyFilesystems(): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 675, in hasDirtyFilesystems if self.rootOnLoop(): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 160, in rootOnLoop raise ValueError, "no root device has been set" ValueError: no root device has been set Local variables in innermost frame: self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 84dfcc0> ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
