Can you still hit this? If so, can you hit it, then put an updates.img there and get /tmp/anaconda.log for us to look at? Where should I get an updates.img, or how should I create one? I am downloading the latest i386 rescue CD-ROM (Sunday 2007-02-25) to try it. Should be able to just create an empty ext2 image. dd if=/dev/zero of=updates.img bs=72k count=20 mke2fs updates.img No, I cannot trigger the error using 708f5eddd5323b05588487f2473be17f06ac0b57 FC-development-i386-rescuecd.iso [sha1sum, 2007-02-25] However, I did notice a couple things about rescue CD. Probably this original bugzilla report was the result of using a truncated CD-RW: only the first 9MB or so (10% of 90MB) was correct; the rest probably was omitted due to error in writing a CD-RW; but the CD-RW had been used successfully as a rescue CD before, so it looked OK. So: the rescue CD-ROM should have an option for mediacheck! Even with a correct CD platter, bug #229099 (weird network trouble with nVidia nForce4 forcedth) causes behavior that is not obvious. With the truncated CD, the specific messages on Alt-F3 console are: ----- trying to mount CD device scd0 mntloop loop0 on /mnt/runtime as /mnt/source/images/stage2.img fd is 10 failed to mount loop: Invalid argument mouting stage2 failed transferring http://fedora.cat.pdx.edu// ... /updates.img to a fd cannot determine address family of fedora.cat.pdx.edu we don't have reverse DNS for ipv6 yet transferring http://fedora.cat.pdx.edu// ... /disk1/images/updates.img to a fd <no response> ----- and the log on Alt-F4 console is ----- <3> cramfs: wrong magic ----- With the full verified CD, but with bug #229099 [network hosed] acting up, the message is: ----- CRITICAL: IOError 4 occurred getting http://fedora.cat.pdx.edu/linux/core/development/i386/os/RELEASE-NOTES-en_US.UTF-8 ----- |
