Preupgrade install info and stack trace.

Description of problem:
Towards the end of the preupgrade process going from F11 to F12 a Python exception occurred just after the "installing bootloader" part of the installation.

Hardware:
AMD Athlon64 i386 basearch machine running F11.
All partitions on a hardware dm-raid device.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
I believe I was using preupgrade-1.1.3-1.fc11.noarch

How reproducible:
Install F11, run preupgrade to F12.

Actual results:
Preupgrade failure with "exception occurred".  I was offered the opportunity to save the bug report, which I did by SCP to another machine.  The installer then tried to exit but failed to do so, a blank screen remained showing only the mouse cursor with animated "work in progress" type blue dots around it in circles.

Expected results:
Full and safe upgrade to F12.

Additional info:
Preupgrade output and python stack trace attached.

Comment 1 Radek Vykydal 2009-12-21 14:11:36 UTC
This bug should be fixed in rawhide/F13 (anaconda-13.7-1) with commit 558abca4d3f6740eadba96ead716839440112759 which consolidates handling of grub target device names obtained in UI and in /etc/sysconfig/grub of upgraded system. The bug concerns particularly grub installed in mbr of dmraid device where "mapper/" part of its path was not removed after reading it from the config file.

Thanks for the bug report.
