changing the summary since anaconda doesn't actually die here, it just complains. Please attach your /var/log/anaconda* from the installed system to this bug report. Created attachment 131622 [details]
anaconda.log from VNC install
Created attachment 131623 [details]
anaconda.syslog from VNC install
I have attached the requested logs. Let me know if there is any other data I can grab that would be helpful. tail of /tmp/anaconda.log when the error pops up: 15:07:19 WARNING : no dev package, going to bind mount /dev 15:07:19 DEBUG : isys.py:mount()- going to mount /dev on /mnt/sysimage/dev 15:07:19 INFO : self.hostname = localhost.localdomain 15:07:19 INFO : moving (1) to step installpackages 15:07:19 INFO : Preparing to install packages 15:08:45 INFO : Initial install time estimate = 10.5844723853 15:18:14 INFO : Actual install time = 10.0165082494 15:18:15 INFO : moving (1) to step postinstallconfig 15:18:15 INFO : moving (1) to step writeconfig 15:18:15 INFO : Writing main configuration tail of /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log when error pops up: Installing xorg-x11-drv-magellan - 1.1.0-1.ia64 Installing xorg-x11-drv-dynapro - 1.1.0-1.ia64 Installing xorg-x11-drv-i810 - 1.6.0-5.ia64 Installing xorg-x11-drivers - 7.1-1.ia64 Installing gnome-applets - 1:2.15.1.1-2.ia64 Installing sound-juicer - 2.15.3-2.ia64 Installing rhythmbox - 0.9.5-1.ia64 Installing firstboot - 1.4.12-1.noarch Installing gnome-session - 2.15.1-5.ia64 Installing linuxwacom - 0.7.4_1-2.ia64 Appears to be related to writing /etc/shadow. Once the system reboots there is no /etc/shadow file and the encrypted password is in /etc/password as if shadow passwords were not enabled. I don't have a system handy that was installed in interactive text mode (I do not see the error at all in text mode) but I did confirm on a system that was installed via kickstart that /etc/shadow was created properly. From IRC (pasting here so I don't forget): 17:08 <dchapman_nashua> by the way, I just did a text mode install and verified that /etc/shadow IS created properly 17:09 <dchapman_nashua> all the options I used were identical to the VNC install where I got the "Unknown error" and it did not create /etc/shadow And just as mysteriously as this bug appeared, it is now gone. Fixed in today's Rawhide tree. Fixed it for real this time. /usr/bin/authconfig -> /usr/sbin/authconfig. |
