Description of problem:

Filing against anaconda, since I'm seeing it in the installer.  My kickstart boot is failing because of bug .  But instead of simply aborting at some point (hopefully with a useful error message still visible on the screen) the boot process get stuck in an infinite loop.  I'm attaching a screen shot from a representative section.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-19.12-1.fc19.x86_64

Can you make the output more verbose somehow?  I don't see anything in the screenshot that talks about anaconda doing anything.

Comment 2 Orion Poplawski 2013-05-20 22:34:38 UTC
Not really sure how to reproduce this any more or to make it more verbose.
