Hi, I'm an old Debian devel and more recently Ubuntu user that's trying Fedora for the first time, have mercy on me if I don't follow bug reporting best practises here... Anyway, I just tried to install F10 beta (x86_64) on a single-HD PC, which ended in an unhandled exception after clicking next on the page where I set up the boot loader. I used manual partitioning, left partitions 1 (Windows), 2 (Ubuntu /boot), 3 (Ubuntu LVM) intact, and setup Fedora to have /boot (ext3) on partition 5 and / (ext4) on partition 6. In the boot loader screen I told it to install Grub in /dev/sda5, and removed the "Other" entry (for Windows). Upon clicking next I got an error message telling me about an unhandled exception. I could not save the traceback directly to Bugzilla because AltGr+2, which on my Norwegian keyboard should produce «@» instead incorrectly produced «"» (same as Shift+2), leaving me unable to enter my Bugzilla username. I'll attach the traceback file here instead if I can figure out how... Regards, Tore Created attachment 320742 [details]
Traceback file from Anaconda
I think my bug was caused by a faulty installation medium. Please ignore it, apologies for the noise. Tore Does this work better with the preview release? Created attachment 323171 [details]
Dump from Anaconda crash on boot loader select
I don't know about Tore, but I had the same problem with the preview release. I have an Acer Aspire T135 with two internal SATA hard drives and was attempting a manual install in free space on the second drive (My system is multi-boot with an existing master grub boot partition on the primary drive). On the boot loader window, I pressed the Change button on the first option to switch the location to the local partition (/dev/sdb8) but when I pressed the button to confirm this, anaconda crashed on an exception error. I have attached the dump. I tried the install with both the install DVD and the live CD with the same results. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping *** Bug 481073 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just for the record, I tried to install grub to the boot partition in the current alpha version of Fedora 11, and Anaconda STILL crashes on the same exception error. I live in hope that this bug is fixed before the final release. Not seeing this problem with rawhide as of 14-Apr-2009. Set up a test system as described in comment #8 using two SATA disks and chose 'Change device' on the bootloader configuration screen. No traceback. I was able to change back and forth between sda and sdb1. |
