Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Exception is:
AttributeError: 'Storage' does not have attribute 'migrateFormat'
error is in line 94 of /usr/lib/anaconda/textw/upgrade_text.py:
anaconda.id.storage.migrateFormat(entry, newfs)
bash-3.2$ grep -r migrateFormat anaconda-13.21.82
anaconda-13.21.82/textw/upgrade_text.py: anaconda.id.storage.migrateFormat(entry, newfs)
bash-3.2$
Result is that ext4migrate does not work in text mode.
> Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report.
I don't believe you need it, since line 94 of upgrade_text.py shows use of migrateFormat method which does not exist. However, I am happy to collect it, if you can tell me how to do so on a VMWare instance which has no floppy drive or USB devices.
BTW, you can easily replicate this yourself, but installing RHEL5, then attempt to upgrade to RHEL6 using 'linux text ext4migrate' on the syslinux command line.

I don't see that providing any information as to how I might copy an anaconda traceback file from the ramdisk onto somewhere where I can attach it to this bug report. I suppose you want me to type it in, even though, as I repeat, you do not need it, or can produce one yourself, by replicating the problem.
Fixed on master by 710f0ea13a56ab518b3fa6cd0000ea53751cf848.

Since bug #712195 asks for the removal of ext4migrate option and was fixed in an earlier anaconda release and the patch from comment #8 is present in anaconda-13.21.125-1 I'm moving this bug to VERIFIED.
