This is almost certainly because tools like xfsprogs. Created attachment 240571 [details]
Error log of Anaconda installer
I think this is bug in the second stage of Anaconda. The installer is trying to
execute command "xfs_db" but there is no such a command.
There is no such command because the package itself isn't on the live media. My comment got cut off. "This is almost certainly because tools like xfsprogs are not included on the Live media and thus not executable by the installer." Fixed so that we check for the existence of the xfs utilities. You can workaround by running 'yum install xfsprogs' before starting your install if you want to use XFS filesystems. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.5; Linux) KHTML/3.5.8 (like Gecko) Description of problem: I tried Fedora8 Test3 KDE and GNOME Live CD and wanted to install it with XFS filesystem. This filesystem appears in the menu with the available filesystems. When the formatting of the partition was started I got error message (I will post it in attachment) and the installer just quit. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Try to install Fedora via Live CD (KDE and GNOME Live CDs) 2.Partition manually your hard drive. 3.Choose XFS filesystem for the / mount point. Actual Results: Error message appears when the installer tried to format the partitions. Expected Results: Successfully installed operating system with properly working filesystem. Additional info: Here are the first few lines with the error message: anaconda None exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 62, in execWithRedirect raise RuntimeError, errstr File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 381, in labelDevice stderr = "/dev/tty5", searchPath = 1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 1476, in labelEntry entry.fsystem.labelDevice(entry, chroot) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 1545, in makeFilesystems self.labelEntry(entry, chroot) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 158, in turnOnFilesystems anaconda.backend.skipFormatRoot) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 203, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 126, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1048, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 67, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1075, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() RuntimeError: Error running xfs_db: No such file or directory Local variables in innermost frame: chroot: <function chroot at 0xad0f1ec> stdout: <open file '/dev/tty5', mode 'w' at 0xaa27020> errno: 2 stdin: 0 argv: ['-x', '-c', 'label /', '/tmp/sda2'] searchPath: 1 errstr: Error running xfs_db: No such file or directory stderr: <open file '/dev/tty5', mode 'w' at 0xad30cc8> msg: No such file or directory command: xfs_db root: /
