Description Jonathan Underwood 2007-11-04 17:16:35 UTC

Description of problem:
With the x68_64 iso of RC3 (from the torrents page) installing to hard disk from
the live image fails at the end. A cut and paste of the Exception is below. Oh,
no, it isn't below. I am sitting here looking at the Exception dialogue box from
Anaconda which for some reason I am unable to copy and paste from - how
ridiculous. I have the ability to copy the log to a remote host (which actually
with my current setup is about as useful as an arsehole on my elbow), but I
can't copy and paste. A great big WTF to that. If I can somehow get this log
into this bug report I will add it in a subsequent comment.

Comment 1 Jonathan Underwood 2007-11-04 17:19:52 UTC

OK, managed to get the dialogue box to allow me to select the text by typing a
junk host in the copy to remote host dialogue. Log is below, but seriously, you
need to think about that pointless save to remote host option - really unuseful.
A "report to bugzilla" button would be a lot more use. Anyway:

Comment 2 Jonathan Underwood 2007-11-04 18:15:52 UTC

ps. Apologies for the unecessary bitching about cut and paste - I realize my
tone was unecessarily harsh.

Comment 3 Jonathan Underwood 2007-11-04 18:28:21 UTC

Additionally, while running from the RC3 live image, if I do a yum update to
pull in an updated anaconda (anaconda-11.3.0.50-2) I don't even get to the point
which triggered the above error, but rather at the point of trying to format
partitions I get a dialogue box saying "An error occurred trying to format sda1.
 This problem is serious, and the install cannot continue." No more detail than
that, I am afraid.

Comment 4 Jonathan Underwood 2007-11-04 18:39:13 UTC

Some additional commentary about what I was doing (or trying to do). This is a
machine which had an F-7 installation. It has the single hard disk split into 4
primary partitions, with one of them being used for the /home mount point. On
installation of the F8 image, I was deleting 3 of the partitions and recreating
them (sda1, sda2, sda3) for the /boot, / and swap partitions respectively, and
leaving mounting sda4 (unformatted) at /home. Not sure if this detail is
relevant, but what may be relevant is that I wasn't allowing anaconda to create
a standard partition layout, but rather was using a custom disk partition layout.

Comment 5 Jonathan Underwood 2007-11-04 19:13:45 UTC

Hm. Bizarrely, I rebooted the computer into the F8 RC3 live image, and re-tried
the installation exactly as before, and this time it has succeeded. Some sort of
race condition then, perhaps.

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2007-11-05 15:52:24 UTC

The only way this could happen is if the file isn't there or if there were a
disc error.  It's conceivable that there was an error while copying over the
filesystem I guess.  I'm not really sure what we can do for spurious cases like
that... maybe we need to add a checksum of the filesystem and verify it after
copying :-/

or perhaps if it was labelled wrongly (SElinux)

Probably  would be a nice touch... perhaps a checkbox "verify installed image
(may take many minutes)". If I see a failure like this again, I'll dig a bit more.

Comment 8 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 08:11:44 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '8'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 9 Jonathan Underwood 2008-11-26 11:29:42 UTC

Never seen again during F-8 or F-9 lifetime, closing NEXTRELEASE
