What is the drive configuration of your system and what did you select for your partitioning options? The machine's smolt data is at: http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=525aa7d1-98bc-455a-bb3a-70d9a65326bd HP/Compaq calls the machine a Nettle2 The drive hardware is: IDE channel 1 - empty IDE channel 2 - empty IDE channel 3 master - ST3320820AS 320GB SATA drive IDE channel 4 master - TSSTcorpCD/DVDW (SATA if I remember from last look inside) IDE channel 5 - empty IDE channel 6 - empty This machine does not have nVidia MediaShield/onboard RAID For the install where I saw this happen, the drive was partitioned as: remove all existing partitions, setup custom layout sda1 256M /boot on standard Linux partition 0x83 sda2 39998M / on standard Linux partition 0x83, encryption on sda3 2055M swap on standard Linux swap 0x82, encryption on sda4 30xxxxM /export on standard Linux partition 0x83, encryption on sda install grub as MBR, no extra options or password chosen The weird sizes in MB are to align with cylinder boundaries. Linux MD/LVM were not chosen, just some plain old partitions. I was trying to keep the encryption options from tangling with MD/LVM layers. Silly me. A later, more successful install on same hardware configuration mostly worked if I left LVM in place, and did not show this dialog box. I did not think to save an actual fdisk output from the machine on that install. I hope this is enough to help. Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Does this problem persist in the final release? |
Description of problem: After the RPMs finished installing on Fedora 9 Alpha, a bug dialog box reports: Exception Occurred A switch to console F3 shows: INFO: moving (1) step to firstboot INFO: moving (1) step to instbootloader CRITICAL: anaconda 11.4.0.28 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 1002 in grubbyDiskName return "hd%d" % seld.drivelist.index(name) File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 911 in writeGrub f.write("(%s) /dev/%s\n") % (self.grubbyDiskName(drive), File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 1187, in write justConfig | (not self.useGrubVal)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/bootloader.py", line 209, in writeBootloader justConfigFile, anaconda.intf) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 209, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 132, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1201, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 80, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", like 1222, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() Value Error: list.index(x): x not in list Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda 11.4.0.28 How reproducible: Unknown, without performing an entire re-install. It happens after all RPMs are applied to system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from DVD. 2. Choose install options. 3. Wait while all packages apply. Actual results: Exception report dialog box. Expected results: Installation successful, press reboot screen. Additional info: I could not save the exception log to disk. The dialog did not let me choose one. And, I could not save the exception log to remote. The dialog provided labels for 4 fields of information (Host:port, file, name, and password), but only had 3 input fields to enter the information in. It seems there is no place to enter password? Should be entered as a separate bug I suppose, but don't much feel like it after painfully typing in that traceback.
