anaconda dump/log
I'm impressed you even managed to boot the live CD on a box with 192M of RAM :-) Did /dev/sda2 exist when the traceback happened? I'm guessing that based on the memory pressure, udev was slow to respond and create the devices. I committed something yesterday which should help that situation a bit if so. *** Bug 440313 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I've been happily running Fedora on this laptop for a lone time. It's too bad that things have grown so out of hand that I can barely run the LiveCD on it. As for the disk layout before I ran liveinst - I've tried it many ways; with an extant Fedora installation or with an empty disk label. I also tried to configure my own layout which failed even more spectacularly. How can I test your recent changes (comment #2)? The livecd actually has higher memory requirements as changes to the filesystem are kept around using a RAM based dm-snapshot device. And we'll have up a snapshot release which will include the changes either later today or tomorrow Rawhide-20080404-Snapshot-i686-Live managed to boot & install (text mode) I only tried the 'remove all & setup default' partition mode. Note firstboot failed after install :-( See 441049 Can't login - tty messed up :-( - See 441048 Skipping that, going to init 5, system frezzes :-( - See 441051 Sounds like the anaconda bug at least is fixed |
