full console log from installation

anaconda on s390 doesn't start and throws a traceback instead

13:56:38 Starting VNC...
Traceback (most recent call last):

I suppose it's related to how network is being setup via dracut now.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-17.16-1.fc17

Even including cherry-picked s390x fixes from the rhel7-alpha branch didn't help (for the rpms please see http://s390.koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/sharkcz/task_631385/)
Comment 2 Radek Vykydal 2012-04-03 09:33:42 UTC 
Reassigning to David who is more in the picture handling s390 networking stuff for rhel7-alpha.
Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2012-04-20 13:43:17 UTC 
Worse, if you remove the vnc option, you cannot install at all.  I'm digging into what's going on.
Comment 4 Dan Horák 2012-05-11 12:29:56 UTC 
Fixed by recent updates in dracut/lorax/whatever :-)
