I cant reproduce this problem, but I dont have the nic in question. Is the issue the fact that the errant options to the driver cause it not to load, so later anaconda fails? Closing due to inactivity - please reopen if you have additional information to add. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030225 Description of problem: a device line of the following form will cause a signal 11 against the anaconda python interpreter: device eth 3c59x options=0 full_duplex=0 the PROPER form of this line should be something of the form: device eth 3c59x --opts=0 full_duplex=0 this is tickling some bug in anaconda, apparently. not critical, but figured it could be improved upon. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-2.3-25 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. put a goofed up device hint in ks.cfg 2. boot the kickstart floppy 3. cry Actual Results: a segmentation fault (signal 11) of the anaconda installer Expected Results: an error message suggesting that the 3c59x driver failed to load appropriately would be desirable for clarity.
