anaconda Trace File
Could you test your CDs following these instructions please: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html Yes I have used mediacheck to validate the CD and they are OK. If you look on VC4 (cntl-alt-f4) when this error occurs do you see any read errors? No I don't see any read errors. On VC2 I see the single line: sh-2.05# On VC3 I see a screen of load messages(???) ending with: *anaconda floppy device fd0 On VC4 I see a screen of log messages (no errors) ending with: <6> Journalled Block Device driver loaded <4> EXT2-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsek is recommended <4> EXT2-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsek is recommended <4> EXT2-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsek is recommended <4> EXT2-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsek is recommended <6> Adding Swap: 66492K swap-space (priority -1) <6> Adding Swap: 65528K swap-space (priority -2) I would recommend you try a hard drive based upgrade since you have already downloaded the ISO images. I tried the harddrive install and experienced the same error. Also I attempted to do a linux mediacheck on the ISO images on the harddrive but the install program appears not to respond to this option when the images are not on CD-ROM. I have not seen this problem before except when there was a problem with the install media/source. We have recently released Red Hat Linux 8.0, you may want to try that as we've made alot of fixes. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 4.0) Description of problem: Upgrade fails with unhandled exception in anaconda. Fails in both text and graphics mode after package selection phase. I burned these CD's but meadiacheck reported all cd's as OK. Trace shows the following error: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 633, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 353, in run self.icw.run (self.runres, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 814, in run mainloop () File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2676, in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 130, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 417, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 144, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 209, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/upgrade.py", line 291, in upgradeFindPackages iutil.setClock(instPath) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 376, in setClock root = root) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 61, in execWithRedirect raise RuntimeError, command + " can not be run" RuntimeError: /bin/sh can not be run Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Using Floppy Image 2.Run through normal selections selecting default options 3.Select "Upgrade" Actual Results: Unhandled exception message followed by termination of upgrade. Expected Results: RPM should have been upgraded. Additional info: It may be that this has something to do with setting the system clock as the trace indicates anaconda is attempting to use bash to run hwclock.
