Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2007-10-11 19:21:10 UTC

Happens after mounting NFS, or finishing downloading HTTP stage2.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2007-10-11 19:54:00 UTC

On tty3, what are you seeing immediately before the crash?  There should be a
line of the form:

transferring http://something/somewhere to a fd

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2007-10-11 20:02:25 UTC

Hey, it's the updates image.

transferring http://172.31.4.2/fedora/updates.img to a fd

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2007-10-12 20:05:56 UTC

This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda.
