debugging dump from anaconda
This should be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Same thing seen here on i686 platform. Do you want my anacdump too? Created attachment 291645 [details] updates-20080114-i386.img This updates.img fixes the problem in anaconda 11.4.0.20. Tomorrow's rawhide should include this fix; you can use this in the meantime to install i386 rawhide. (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates for details on using updates images) Created attachment 291647 [details]
updates-20080114-i386.img (ext2 fs image)
Whoops - the previous image was a cpio archive, which didn't work as expected.
This one does.
This does fix the problem. Note that the fedoraproject.org Wiki about Anaconda Updates is inconsistent about the format of the updates.img file. First it says make an ext3 image, and the next section says they are CPIO archives. Obviously the last section is wrong. Updated the wiki. Thanks for the notice. |
Current rawhide anaconda dies with a traceback at the beginning of the RPM transaction. The following messages appear on VT1: error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /mnt/sysimage/%{_dbpath} I guess maybe we're missing rpm macros or something? I've attached the anacdump.
