Hi Lubomir, I assume this is how you created the live images: http://v3.sk/~lkundrak/blog/entries/rhel6-live.html I'd like to know how did you start the installer: on livecd it's supposed to be run through the 'liveinst' script, which has an unconditional 'swapoff -a' call in it: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=blob;f=liveinst/liveinst;h=51eae2f2b7fee03b980bd38a665281be8b8a2a3a;hb=refs/heads/f13-branch I tested F13 LiveCD with a swap on an LV and the install went smoothly.

The volume group in question was initialized by anaconda and a swap device with lv on it was also created. I'm not sure what called swapon against it, maybe it was anaconda as well? > I tested F13 LiveCD with a swap on an LV and the install went smoothly. That's strange, since I used Fedora scripts to build the live media. However, the issue is perfectly reproducible, so I suggest you try that yourself. Either build your own live media, or I can share mine somehow if you stop by at #fedora-cs. QA, We have fixes for livecds on RHEL-6, can we get a qa_ack please? So far I have identified those two F13 fixes we need to merge over the rhel6 in order to fix this. f8f27c14140377d9a9a6c3c32294f27ee771af1f (the core fix for this bug) 57b6bc9de084c36681ad35faaf9a258163634875 (arbitrary complex dir structures) c971e7fe9c00e33c66118f3ef53b5ce764b02924 (selected keyboard) ad8cbf88d3dfe2a0189f09392b4ab97698f43b80 (syslog file) 0c496dc1069cb56ce444c4a11b0469348dedcc1a (udev environment) *** Bug 591399 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** those f13-patches will have to be merged too: 5af00da374af665f8b0ae573776c012cc2ec4443 (clumens) cf5440ad3f1faa83a5d97ea123e62c3a3f85ad26 (clumens) Should be working in anaconda-13.21.42-1. Those patches were cherry-picked from f13 to fix this: 82428862fe03f579b18aafabe0d1b3c1dd4aaca7 9697f773895dfb938d91f3aba1efae5240610dec b5fd071ef4cd4139a57d7ac5c92709bf7e3f4573 7222f8b3549982ca75d9d9edc741b44911605b53 acd029cb07ddefb1b394d5f9abc0380e0980adec If I try a liveinst with anaconda-13.21.45-1.el6 I get.

Grant, that's a known issue fixed in a later anaconda. See bug 595284. Ales I've done a default install with 0707.4 LiveCD image today. I've logged in into GNOME and started the anaconda installer via the desktop icon. I didn't get any traceback or error. Installation completed and I was able to boot into the newly installed system. Moving to VERIFIED. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
Created attachment 412615 [details] Proposed fix Description of problem: A LV could not be brought down since it was an active swap device. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-13.21.20.5-1.el6.i686 Additional info: With the attached patch the install succeeded. I'm not entirely sure about it; will attach a complete backtrace as well so that you can eventually come up with a better solution.
