From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Upgrade from RedHat 7.3 to 8.0 fails before starting to upgrade the packages ("Unhandled Exception"). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: On the system RedHat 7.3 is (freshly) installed. 1. Boot the PC using Intels ee100 and PXE (get the IP via DHCP and boot kernel via PXE from RedHats CD1: /images/pxeboot). 2. Text mode, since only 32mb of RAM are avaliable 3. Source of installation is a NFS-directory on another server, where the 3 ISO images from RedHat are avaliable. 4. Choose the "upgrade" option. 5. Wait a while in "Finding packages to upgrade" 6. Wait another while in "Checking dependencies in packages selected for installation..." 7. "A complete log of your upgrade will be in /root/upgrade.log..." and I hit "OK" 8. after some seconds: Exception Occurred An unhandled exception has occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please copy the full text of this exception or save the crash dump to a floppy then file a detailed bug report against anaconda. Actual Results: Exception Occurred Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 694, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 446, in run dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 150, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 215, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 613, in doPreInstall f.close() IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument Local variables in innermost frame: upgrade: 1 ohcifnd: 0 instPath: /mnt/sysimage f: <closed file '/mnt/sysimage/etc/mtab', mode 'w+' at 0x8200730> i: /var/tmp errno: 17 method: <image.NfsIsoInstallMethod instance at 0x83f97bc> ehcifnd: 0 intf: <text.InstallInterface instance at 0x82cbe84> select: <function select at 0xa847954> usbcontrollers: [] msg: File exists arch: i386 id: <instdata.InstallData instance at 0x853232c> dir: 1 (full dump at http://www.baschny.de/linux/RedHat-8.0-anaconda-dump.txt). Nothing from RedHat 8.0 installed. Expected Results: Packages upgraded from RedHat 7.3 to 8.0. Additional info: PC is a Pentium 120 MHz with 32 Mb of RAM and 1.6 Gb HD. Maybe its a memory issue, but RedHat 7.3 installed without a problem. I cannot boot from floppy or CD-ROM, since both are defect, my only choice is booting from PXE via the network (DHCP and TFTP loading Redhat's pxe kernel and initrd.img). After that I install from NFS, where the 3 ISO images are located on a directory.
