Ok, I was making too much panic, yum -y upgrade works fine with DVD - this is a workaround, but the main issue remains. Can you please check which version of anaconda you've got? This should be fixed in anaconda-11.1.2.184. Whatever I have as part of RHEL5.4 beta installation, I will have to check - but even then I will have to change somehow whole installation disk (how ?). ZP. Please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506725#c24, the patch for the bug should be available in Snap 1. As a workaround for beta-testing, you can also try updates file from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=506725#c16. (add updates=http://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.506725_2.img to boot parameters. Those two bz links told me: You are not authorized to access bug #506725. Ah, sorry, the bug has restricted visibility. Your issue is probably a duplicate of the referred (inaccessible) bug which will be fixed in Snapshot 1 (should have been fixed in Beta). As I said, you can try to use updates=http://rvykydal.fedorapeople.org/updates.506725_2.img as installation boot parameter which should fix the bug for your beta-testing. Closing as duplicate, the bug was fixed in Snapshot 1 or 2. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 506725 *** |
Description of problem: I have downloaded RHEL 5.4 beta for IA64 and tried to install it on a rx4640 (Montecito) where I have already installed successfully RHEL5.3, and got the following error: > /usr/lib/anaconda/text.py(561)partedExceptionWindow() -> if anaconda.isKickstart and exc.type == parted.EXCEPTION_WARNING and \ serial console output: ERROR: pdc: reading /dev/sda[Input/ou put/output error] +-----------+ Exception Occurred +-----------+ ERROR: pdc: reading| | | Traceback (most recent call first): | g /dev/sda[Input/output error] | File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line | ERR| 561, in partedExceptionWindow | | if anaconda.isKickstart and exc.type | ROR: pdc: reading /dev/sda[Input/| == parted.EXCEPTION_WARNING and \ | | NameError: global name 'anaconda' is not | /output error] | defined | ERROR: pdc: reading| | | | g /dev/sda[Input/output error] | | ERR| +----+ +-------+ | | | OK | | Debug | | ROR: pdc: reading /dev/sda[Input/| +----+ +-------+ | | | /output error] | | ERROR: sil: reading+--------------------------------------------+ g /dev/sda[Input/output error] BTW, trying to use linux mpath gives even worse error - somtehing like unable to find anaconda ... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. begin fresh installation from RHEL5.4 beta IA64 media 2. after entering subscription code, during parted configuration it crashes Actual results: installation impossible Expected results: at least workaround (how to omit parted - I can use old disk layout ?) in order to beta-test Additional info: I need this ASAP because I would like to have a better picture about Xen pci passthrough on IA64 before going with proposal to management about RHEL in our company ... or I am just too curious :=) ...
