Description Dave Jones 2009-09-22 14:31:40 UTC
on a box with an encrypted root from an f11 install, anaconda spat out this traceback after I entered my password.

anaconda 12.26 exception report

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2009-09-22 14:33:18 UTC
Please attach the complete /tmp/anaconda-tb-* file to this bug report.  It contains such useful information as what lvm was doing when it decided to fail.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-11-16 12:46:00 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle.
Changing version to '12'.
