Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2006-10-02 18:34:53 UTC 
Can you try booting with 'linux nompath' and see if that fixes this?
Comment 3 Tracy Skaggs 2006-10-02 19:47:37 UTC 
The answer is yes.  'linux nompath' does not result in the crash of anaconda and
the upgrade does succeed.

Thanks much.

Great, that means that the fix that I've made should work.  Thanks fro the report!
