Description Ross Brattain 2010-06-04 20:57:43 UTC
Description of problem:

X.org segfaults during DVD install

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

RHEL6.0-20100527.2-Server-x86_64-DVD1.iso

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot install DVD
2. Select install from DVD
3. Run media check
  
Actual results:

X fails, and anaconda continues in text mode

Expected results:

GUI install

Additional info:

Only fails with physical DVD install.  DVD passes media check.

When installing via FTP with the exact same ISO image as was used to create the DVD, the GUI install works.  

Logs attached.

This blocks testing installation to FCOE LUN via GUI.

X segfaults are typically not anaconda bugs.

Why are you using 'xdriver=vesa', out of curiosity?

Comment 5 Ross Brattain 2010-06-04 21:23:03 UTC
I have to select "Install system with basic video driver" on the Avocent DSView3 KVM.

The regular video driver fails on the KVM.

Comment 7 Adam Jackson 2010-06-07 19:03:07 UTC
Please re-test with xorg-x11-drv-vesa 2.3.0-1.el6 or later.

Comment 8 Ross Brattain 2010-06-07 20:36:29 UTC
Unfortunately this is an install issue.  I would need a new DVD install ISO in order to re-test.

Well, you can install in a text mode, then upgrade and reboot ... it should test xorg-x11-* packages as well.

Thank you for helping us to make RHEL better.

Comment 10 Ross Brattain 2010-06-08 16:30:10 UTC
We are testing installation to a FCoE LUN through the Specialized Storage Devices option.  This is only available from the GUI anaconda installer.

We would like to be able to test a full DVD install to FCoE LUN.  For that we would need a new installation ISO with a working anaconda GUI.

Thank you for your help.

Comment 11 Adam Jackson 2010-06-10 16:57:39 UTC
This is an identical backtrace to bug #551418, so I'm calling this MODIFIED.  The next compose should pick up the new version of the vesa driver.

Comment 15 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-22 12:57:31 UTC
Hello,

I made few runs of RHEL6.0-20100620 dvd installations by using vesa driver and no segfault was detected at all.

xorg-x11-drv-vesa-2.3.0-1.el6

Moving to verified

Used machine Thinkpad T400 (intel)

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 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.
