program.log from an affected machine
18:05:53,984 ERR program: Serial terminal not available on this platform.
might be what's the problem here.
ssh-ing into the machine; [anaconda root@acpi4-12 grub2]# pwd /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub2 [anaconda root@acpi4-12 grub2]# ls device.map grub.cfg grub.cfg.new grubenv But I'm told that serial.mod is expected to be present. I hit this with F16 beta as well. It's easy to reproduce when installing to a virtual machine with serial console. Booting the install cd in rescue mode enabled me to install the bootloader manually with: grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg grub2-install /dev/sda I'm happy to provide whatever information is needed, or I can work with anybody who wants me to on setting up the libvirt configuration required to reproduce it. (In reply to comment #3) > grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg > grub2-install /dev/sda Urgh, that should have been grub2-install /dev/vda in my case. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 736993 *** |
Description of problem: trying to install F16 Beta (interactive or kickstart), I get this at the end ┌──────────────────┤ Warning ├──────────────────┐ │ │ │ There was an error installing the bootloader. │ │ The system may not be bootable. │ │ │ │ ┌────┐ │ │ │ OK │ │ │ └────┘ │ │ │ │ │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────┘ and the system is indeed not bootable Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 16.20 grub2-1.99-5.fc16 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install F16 Beta on a system that has no video hardware but does have a serial console 2. wait for install to finish 3. notice error Actual results: system not bootable Expected results: system bootable after installation, just like previous Fedora version were. Additional info: I see this on all of ACPI2-A ACPI4-A ACPI4-B (do not mind the names, they will only mean something to $custmer, TAM and DEE) $customer can live with this bug in Fedora, but it MUST NOT be present in RHEL7 (RHEL6 works just fine on the machines)
