Description James Laska 2010-05-03 20:07:08 UTC

While attempting to work around bug#588493 (Unable to select local BIOS RAID drive as boot drive), I ran into this previously filed RHEL6 anaconda bug.

anaconda 13.39 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/cleardisks_gui.py", line 146, in getScreen
    self.bootDisk = sorted(names, self.anaconda.storage.compareDisks)[0]
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1393, in setScreen
    new_screen = self.currentWindow.getScreen(anaconda)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1314, in nextClicked
    self.setScreen ()
IndexError: list index out of range

Local variables in innermost frame:
xml: <gtk.glade.XML object at 0x7fc0efb6fdc0 (PyGladeXML at 0x2cbdcc0)>
self: <ClearDisksWindow.ClearDisksWindow instance at 0x7fc10bc500e0>
disks: []
names: []
anaconda: <__main__.Anaconda object at 0x7fc10441cf10>

See full traceback details in attachment#411109 [details]

This was a rather forward partitioning back/forward interaction.  If the patch already fixed in RHEL6 is tested and isolated, I'd like to request pulling this into F13.

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2010-05-04 07:33:17 UTC

Ok, I'll cherry pick the fix into f13-branch.

Comment 2 Hans de Goede 2010-05-04 08:55:00 UTC

This should be fixed in anaconda-13.40-1, moving to modified.

Comment 3 Adam Williamson 2010-05-04 23:53:20 UTC

james, can you test with the updates.img? Thanks.

Comment 4 James Laska 2010-05-05 00:03:08 UTC

I'll try, but I suspect not, this involved hitting a previous bug, then going through a few iterations of hitting Back (and Next) a few times.  I'll try to test tomorrow.  If I'm not able to reproduce the original problem, we can move this along.

Comment 7 James Laska 2010-05-05 12:43:05 UTC

I'm not able to reproduce this failure using anaconda-13.39-1 + an updates.img which includes the fix.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2010-05-05 16:58:29 UTC

We should now be able to confirm that this bug is fixed using the images here:
