Description Michal Nowak 2008-03-05 13:49:14 UTC

Description of problem:

When installing 

kernel             i686       2.6.24.3-12.fc8  updates-testing    17 M

I end up with 

Installing: kernel                       ##################### [ 31/188] 
nash received SIGSEGV!  Backtrace (11):
/sbin/nash[0x805314a]
[0x12c440]
/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0[0x4c22bf1]
/usr/lib/libbdevid.so.6.0.19(bdevid_module_unload_all+0x31)[0x135e37]

/sbin/nash[0x80536e4]
/lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0)[0xbf0390]
/sbin/nash[0x804ae61]

the kernel is itself installed but the grub lines are not configured.

This is the first kernel I ran into problems.

Maybe it's nash fault but there's no BZ component for this.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8
nash-6.0.19-4.fc8

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install recent fedora-testing kernel mentiond version
2. see failure
3. process won't finish

Comment 1 Michal Nowak 2008-03-05 20:31:06 UTC

Forgot to mention that initrd file was not created.

Comment 2 John H 2008-03-08 00:47:58 UTC

I'm getting same thing with the one that is in updates, not updates-testing.

Comment 3 John H 2008-03-08 00:48:35 UTC

The error is HAPPENING ON the initrd file creation.

Run mkinitrd and you'll see the exact error.

Comment 4 Chuck Ebbert 2008-03-08 01:35:43 UTC

This is caused by installing an incompatible glib2 package, it seems...

Comment 5 John H 2008-03-08 01:37:35 UTC

Downgrading from 2.15 glib2 to 2.14 fixed it for me.  Unfortunately, new
evolution requires 2.15

Comment 6 Michal Nowak 2008-03-16 09:55:55 UTC

Any progress here?

Comment 7 Michal Nowak 2008-04-02 14:53:32 UTC

Yeah... had the FC9 glib2 package (because of new Evince depending on gio), now
having glib2-2.14.6-1.fc8. Which runs OK (even Evolution "from" comment #5).
