Hi, This bug is reported automatically by anaconda, Let me describe the detail steps : 1st, I boot my host into rescue mode by pxe, with tree RHEL6.2-20110823.1 . 2nd, then I type anaconda to install os. 3rd, in partitioning screen,I click return to previous screen(or sth like that). 4th, just login my bz account and anaconda report this bug. Thanks and Best Regards, Xiaoqing Wei First of all, the traceback you attached does not match the one that caused this bug to be reported. Second, here's what happened to lead to the traceback you did attach: it looks like you selected to do an upgrade, then you went and started anacron inside the mounted system (/mnt/sysimage), and then tried to back up and do an install instead of an upgrade. You cannot go and start applications/daemons inside the mounted system and then expect anaconda to be able to unmount it afterwards. This is an unsupported scenario. If you would like to attach the crash report from your original bug, please do so. (In reply to comment #7) > the mounted system (/mnt/sysimage), and then tried to back up and do an install aha, I boot my host into rescue mode for data recovery, #chroot /mnt/sysimage after backed up my data , I exit from chroot and decide run anaconda to reinstall my host, then the anaconda crashes at partitioning. So,that should be my mis-operation . Thanks and Best Regards, Xiaoqing Wei This bug involves running anaconda from the command line inside the mounted system in rescue mode, which is not supported. |
