Description William Mounsey 2001-06-29 00:09:48 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows 98)

Description of problem:
I was attempting a custom install, using druid, having lilo written to the 
root partition because I have system commander 2000 installed, default 
boot image was linux, created 1 account, enabled md5 and shadow only, a 
static IP, enabling printer support, x windows system, kde, mail/www/news 
tools, dos/windows connectivity, games, ftp, www, samba, and I believe 
sendmail was an option as well... 

The last step of the install where anaconda was just starting to install 
the OS, the system would halt and I was able to generate the file below:

Here is the anacdump file that was generated:
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 
19, in run
    rc = self.todo.doInstall ()

doInstall
    self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 847, in

    iutil.mkdirChain(instPath + mntpoint)
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 237, in

    os.mkdir(path, 0755)
