From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030211 Description of problem: Text mode install fails consistently if I select the "upgrade existing installation" option, and opt to skip updating the boot loader. The existing installation I am trying to update is phoebe beta 2, installed on hda4. I already have RHL8.0 installed on partitions hda2,5,6, and I boot using grub (from RHL8.0) installed in the mbr of hda. I saved the python dump to disk and I will try to attach it later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert phoebe beta 3 CD1 2. boot into text mode install 3. select upgrade existing installation, and skip the boot loader update Actual Results: install fails Expected Results: sucessfull install Additional info: Python traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 739, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 438, in run rc = apply(win, (self.screen, ) + args) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/textw/upgrade_bootloader_text.py", line 113, in __call__ self.bl.setDevice(self.bootDev) File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 224, in setDevice (dev, part) = getDiskPart(device) File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 1428, in getDiskPart cut = len(dev) TypeError: len() of unsized object
