current CVS versions handle cases like this. An errata, to be issues in the near future, will correct this. The fix is already made in rawhide and our internal CVS tree. fixed in errata due out today. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-22 i586) During the activation process of the rhn_register program, the program dies aparently looking for cpu identifiers not listed in old hardware! Acctual /proc/cpuinfo: processor : 0 vendor_id : unknown cpu family : 4 model : 0 model name : ff/00 stepping : unknown fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : no cpuid level : -1 wp : yes flags : bogomips : 39.83 Thats right, no CPU flags. yeah she is a beauty. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start rhn_register 2.click through the registering process untill, it will crash on the info gathering step 3. Actual Results: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/share/rhn/register/gui.py", line 447, in onProfilePagePrepare hardware.read_cpuinfo() File "/usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py", line 106, in read_cpuinfo hwdict['speed'] = int(round(float(mhz_speed))) ValueError: empty string for float() Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/libglade.py", line 28, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/share/rhn/register/gui.py", line 447, in onProfilePagePrepare hardware.read_cpuinfo() File "/usr/share/rhn/register/hardware.py", line 106, in read_cpuinfo hwdict['speed'] = int(round(float(mhz_speed))) ValueError: empty string for float() Expected Results: no errors! I guess this program is expecting a Floating Point Unit! This beast is some type of 486!
