Comment 2 Eric Kerin 2009-07-16 20:19:29 UTC 
I'm hitting this bug on a Lenovo T400s - with a WWAN card (/dev/TTYACM0)  I added a print statement to the loop that goes through the network devices, and it fails on the WWAN serial interface.  Checking the attached logs on the bug that is a dupe of this one, that machine also has a WWAN card.

Since it's a serial device, it does not have a hardware address listed in lshal.

I get following error when I try to install fc11.

I have Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard.
Comment 4 Jan-Frode Myklebust 2009-07-20 23:03:18 UTC 
I had the same problem on my t400, and removing the "cdc_acm" kernel module seems like an OK workaround.
Comment 5 Connor 2009-07-27 14:46:02 UTC 
Experiencing this problem with Dell Inspiron mini 9, trying to install f11 via live USB stick.  Workaround of the above post does not work for me.

Comment 6 Sebo 2009-08-06 09:14:14 UTC 
I had the same problem. Switching off the HW switch of the WiFi/BT/WWAN allowed me to proceed the install.

So, sorry to ask a stupid question, but did your WiFi work subseequently after the install? In the case of the Dell, obviously I'd need to get some propreitary drivers first.
Comment 8 Eric Kerin 2009-08-07 23:24:31 UTC 
Yes, WIFI and WWAN worked on my T400s after the install.

Comment 10 Radek Vykydal 2009-10-09 14:13:20 UTC 
I am sending patch for review, you can try updates file for version 12.33 (using anaconda boot option updates) containing the patch:
http://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.hwaddress.img
Comment 11 Chris Lumens 2009-10-13 21:31:30 UTC 
Radek - I've applied your patch via git am and pushed to both head and f12-branch.
Comment 12 Adam Williamson 2009-10-21 15:47:00 UTC 
Guys, can you please test the fix for this? It's a blocker bug so we need to know if it's fixed. Chris, did the fix make it into the Beta?

Connor, I'm particularly interested if the fix works for you, as the initial workaround did not and your hardware seems different to the others. If the fix works for the others but not for you, we should get you to file a new bug, because I wouldn't want to lose your problem.

The priority and severity seem weird for a blocker bug:
 Priority:  	low   Severity: medium
Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2009-10-21 22:57:02 UTC 
severity should be high, but we're not being totally consistent on that yet. however, the fact that it blocks f12blocker is the most important thing, that means we won't release f12 without either confirming the bug is fixed or coming up with a good reason why it doesn't need to be.

Comment 15 Eric Kerin 2009-10-21 23:08:43 UTC 
Works on an external USB WWAN card on a Lenovo S10 using Fedora 12 Beta 2 LiveCD.  Tomorrow I'll track down a T400s to confirm on that hardware as well.
Comment 16 Eric Kerin 2009-10-22 16:34:32 UTC 
Still does not work on the T400s.

When you start liveinst and the WWAN card is active, it crashes (NetworkManager crashes too)
When you flip the kill switch (which disconnects the device at the USB layer) the graphical install starts fine.

Hi,

I was actually installing or attempting to for someone else. I've only been using linux and fedora for a year, so my abilities can't really stretch beyond copy and paste for this problem. I'll be able to have another try on Wednesday, and can post an update then as to what happens. If I just check that the F12 beta graphical installer boots up fine, will that be enough? It's a friend who uses Fedora on their desktop and wanted it on their netbook but encountered this problem, pretty much...
Comment 19 Adam Williamson 2009-10-22 22:32:04 UTC 
Yup, that's really all you need to do. If you still have the problem, just file a new bug with the error message included.

Comment 20 Adam Williamson 2009-10-22 22:32:53 UTC 
er, actually, since the initial fix doesn't seem to be complete yet, don't file a new bug even if you hit the problem :) but a note of whether you have the problem still or not will be useful.

Comment 21 Radek Vykydal 2009-10-23 09:13:59 UTC 
The crash in comment #16 occurs before the patched code is executed, so it seems like different (NM?) bug to me.

The patch is in version 12.38, which is post-beta, beta has 12.37.
Comment 22 Eric Kerin 2009-10-23 11:46:11 UTC 
This happens doing a LiveCD based install.  I just confirmed, the LiveCD image for Beta2 has anaconda-12.38-1.fc12.

Aha, OK, thanks. Anyway, as I said, your last traceback seems to point to another issue than this bug - I've prepared updates image with the patch removed. Retest using it (by adding updates=<updates_image_url> to anaconda boot options) could confirm it, although I am pretty sure about it.

Comment 24 Eric Kerin 2009-10-23 14:34:45 UTC 
I just tried this (I backed out the patch by hand, removing the pyc and pyo files) and it still crashed NetworkManager.  So a new bug was definitely introduced since this was found.  I'll try using older versions of NetworkManager from koji and see if I can track down where this was introduced.
Comment 25 Eric Kerin 2009-10-23 15:27:52 UTC 
Good News!  NetworkManager-0.7.996-5.git20091021.fc12 fixes the crash.  Combined with the Anaconda patch, the installer starts correctly.  I tried it with the anaconda patch rolled back, and it went back to the "No Such Property HwAddress" behavior.

There aren't any nightly composes with the updated network manager yet, but I'll double check after they get built.
Comment 26 Radek Vykydal 2009-10-23 15:31:38 UTC 
That's great! Thanks a lot for your testing Eric.
Comment 27 Adam Williamson 2009-10-23 15:48:05 UTC 
Discussed at blocker meeting today. Looks like it's fixed, we need anaconda team to request a tag for 12.39 so it gets into Rawhide and a newer nightly build can be tested.

Comment 28 Connor 2009-10-25 20:46:08 UTC 
Hi,
It's actually going to have to be Friday for my testing out. I very strongly suspect its going to work anyway, but I'll let you know.
Comment 29 Eric Kerin 2009-10-26 16:49:12 UTC 
Just tested, it's working perfect in the desktop-i386-20091024.19.iso nightly livecd on my T400s.
Comment 30 Adam Williamson 2009-10-28 20:58:49 UTC 
I think we can close this based on feedback so far, 12.39 has been tagged. I think if anyone sees a similar issue with anaconda 12.39+ it'd be best to open a new bug. Thanks!

Hi,

Just to let you know the patch works fine on the Dell netbook.

Comment 32 Adam Williamson 2009-10-31 05:24:51 UTC 
excellent, that's useful - thanks for following up.
