Description Don Zickus 2006-08-31 17:41:44 UTC
Description of problem:
Today's rawhide fails to install on a ppc64 machine.  Basically, anaconda dies
after I click OK on the screen that informs me where I can see the log output of
the install process.  

So it initializes the disk, resolves the package dependencies, and falls over.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Well once so far. My disk was formatted so it is hard to reproduce.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
fails to install

Expected results:

A successful install
Additional info:

I was using a serial console to install on one of these ibm quad power5 machines
There is no video card.

Can you actually provide the traceback you received?  What you gave is kind of
like saying "it oopsed"... ;-)

Comment 2 Don Zickus 2006-09-06 19:30:40 UTC
Sorry, I was being lazy and just hoped this problem applied to all powerpcs.  I
managed to duplicate this because no other distro besides rhel-4 will install on
this machine (thanks dac960).
