Attached the anaconda dump
Yeah, this should be addressed in later builds by moving where kernel-xen is located (In reply to comment #2) > Yeah, this should be addressed in later builds by moving where kernel-xen is located I haven't tried this on RC1. Do you know if this works on RC1? Will there be more release candidates before the official release? Thanks |
Description of problem: Anaconda crashes during Xen virtual machine installation over http. Following is the error message: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 942, in ? anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 540, in run anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 123, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 200, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 154, in doPostSelection return anaconda.backend.doPostSelection(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 874, in doPostSelection self.selectBestKernel() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 807, in selectBestKernel self.ayum.install(po = kxen) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/yum/__init__.py", line 1708, in install raise Errors.InstallError, 'Nothing specified to install' InstallError: Nothing specified to install Local variables in innermost frame: po: None self: <yuminstall.AnacondaYum object at 0x2aaab4543e10> pkgs: [] kwargs: {} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: This happens at every attemtp to install a VM Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start the vm installation via: # virt-install 2. Provide the vm name, RAM, Disk Path, Graphics Support (yes/no), Installation Location. 3. Once the VM bootstraps the kernel it retreives over http, switch to the VM anaconda installer: # xm console vm-name Note the vm-name is the name of the virtual machine specified in step2 4. This will bring up the anaconda installer for the vm, then select to either do the installation over VNC ot in Text mode. 5. Select the language, keyboard type, type in TCP/IP Configuration, Partition the disk or the virtual block device, etc. At the very last step, select the packages you want installed on the VM and select OK. 6. As the installer attempts to start installing packages, it will crash with the error message mentioned above. Actual results: Installation of the VM fails and anaconda crashes Expected results: Installation of the VM should be successful. Additional info: I did this on RHEL Beta2. Note sure if this was address in RC1.
