Please attach /tmp/anaconda-tb-* as an uncompressed plain text file.  Doing anything else prevents us from easily searching bugzilla in the future.  Thanks.

I find a file anaconda-tb-Bz2Awk in /root, but it is empty. No such file in /tmp. Doing the reinstall again with i386, I now get the ELF header error there as well. When doing a minimal GUI reinstall, although no traceback is visible (just the screen saying installation is complete), when rebooting I get the ELF header error that way as well.

Just learned how to convert XWD screenshots to PNG ("xwd | convert - file.png"). Reattaching previous screenshot as a PNG file for convenience.

Test installs of 17 Alpha RC2 using http://bcl.fedorapeople.org/updates/787461.img seem to fix this bug (as well as bug 787461). I'll close if it appears fixed in RC3 as well.
Comment 6 Andre Robatino 2012-02-22 08:37:33 UTC 
I did not see this in RC3, closing.
