anaconda-tb-*.xml from F15 repo/2nd install

Fresh HTTP install from http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/ (by mistake) including updates testing started with Grub and kernel & initrd from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/15-Alpha.TC2/Fedora/i386/os/isolinux/ 

Packages completed 683 of 683 when error window popped up. Last package abrt-desktop 1.1.17-1.fc15.1.i686.

All partitioning was completed prior to booting installation kernel, yet tty5 is loaded with two different short messages:
   dump32fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) (~2/3 of lines)
   resize2fs 1.41.14 (22-Dec-2010) (~1/3 of lines)

Previously used but clean ext3 / partition target is (hd0,24). Grub's files didn't get put in /boot/grub, so attempting to boot F15 got me to a grub prompt from the grub already there from last time. / target was prepared by deleting system dirs but leaving various backup copies of config and a limited assortment of other files in /etc-, /boot-, /root-, plus old kernel modules trees in /lib.

I tried all over using http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/ and got the "same" failure at the same place.

Both installs as subsequently fixed boot (eventually) to a login prompt, but root login failed. The 2nd time I chrooted from F14 to set a new passwd for root, but booting subsequently produces:

     -- root: no shell: permission denied

2nd instance of http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/development/rawhide/ pasted in previous comment should have been http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/fedora/linux/development/15/

boot.log post chroot to set root passwd; with no shell error

Comment 5 Chris Lumens 2011-02-18 03:16:01 UTC
This looks like a transient error whose root cause is:

W: Skipping program less as it cannot be found and is flagged to be optional
error: cannot open Name index using db4 - Cannot allocate memory (12)

Comment 6 Felix Miata 2011-02-18 03:40:14 UTC
I wonder how transient? The only reason I installed today is because of the same cannot allocate memory and rpm DB errors toasting my existing installation of F15 earlier in the day. More than two weeks ago my installation trouble was in part caused by less package not being part of the base installation. How can less be optional if less or anaconda depend on it?

Did not occur for me during install of Fedora 15 release build.  May indeed have been fixed.
