anaconda.log

Description of problem:


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
 * anaconda-15.20-1

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an updates.img.  I'm using one provided by the scripts/makeupdates command included in anaconda.git.  However, the image referenced in the traceback test case can be used (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_save_traceback_to_bugzilla).
2. Save the image as images/updates.img in the installation source directory
3. Boot the installer with repo=/method= pointing to the server/path that contains the installation source+packages
  
Actual results:

I'm still seeing a bug that is already confirmed fixed by the updates.img

Inspecting /tmp/updates ... it doesn't seem like the symlinks were created as expected:

Comment 1 Chris Lumens 2011-02-16 19:33:08 UTC 
Can you apply http://fpaste.org/wDUo/ to your anaconda git tree, make a new updates.img, put it in the tree, and let me know what gets printed on tty1?  I don't really see any differences in the updates= vs. implicit updates code paths in loader that could explain this.  I'd like to rule out anything funny happening in anaconda itself.

Running anaconda 15.20, the Fedora system installer - please wait.

Just to sum up - I was unable to figure out any way this could be happening, and James was unable to reliably reproduce it.  I suggest we leave it open a little while longer just in case, but I'm leaning towards a WORKSFORME resolution soon.
