Proposing as a Final blocker: "The installer must be able to complete a scripted installation which duplicates the default interactive installation as closely as possible. " http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Beta_Release_Criteria#Scripted_installation This appears to be a race condition - it does not crash every time, I managed to reproduce it 3 out of 5 times. Also, pleas note that I forgot to "clearpart --none..." command in kickstart file to "clearpart --all...". After changing to --all, it no longer crashes, but disk setup is apparently bugged instead - it succeeds about 1 of 5 times, and fails at "No disks selected" the rest of the time. Discussed at 2013-05-29 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-05-29/f19final-blocker-review-1.2013-05-29-16.02.log.txt . We agreed to punt the decision on this one: we'd at least like to know i) does it crash with 'clearpart --none' and an empty disk, and ii) does it complete an install with 'clearpart --all' and an empty disk... Oh, but we accepted it as a freeze exception at least - at minimum it seems to merit that, crashers in fairly 'normal' kickstart runs are bad. >> i) does it crash with 'clearpart --none' and an empty disk No, but in 1 of 8 tries, the "Installation destination" section said "Automatic partitioning selected" instead of "No disks selected". >> ii) does it complete an install with 'clearpart --all' and an empty disk... No, results are the same as with --none: it stops with "No disks selected" most of the time, but at the fourth try it installed properly. We discussed this again at the meeting today. We still didn't come to a definite conclusion but there definitely appear to be worrying issues here. Kamil is going to split this bug into multiple bugs as the crash with clearpart --none and the failure to correctly configure storage with clearpart --all seem to be different issues. tflink and kparal were able to reproduce the failure to complete storage config properly sometimes with http://www.happyassassin.net/ks/967527.ks (based on the ks in the report), I wasn't: I did five tries and it worked each time. Let's use this bug for the original crash with clearpart --none. I moved the race condition with clearpart --all into bug 969327. Discussed at 2013-06-03 blocker review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-06-03/f19final-blocker-review-2.2013-06-03-16.00.log.txt . As the other case has been split off, this one is rejected as a blocker but accepted as a freeze exception issue. Outright crashes are bad and worth fixing, but we believe this one is hit only when using an invalid config: passing 'clearpart --none' when there is not sufficient free space for installation. Even if it didn't crash, the install wouldn't proceed until you entered some kind of valid disk configuration interactively - your kickstart configuration would not be used. So this doesn't seem to be blocker worthy. The 'workaround' is to actually use a valid configuration in your kickstart (either enough disk space available for install and 'clearpart --none', or specify some kind of space freeing operation). pykickstart-1.99.32-1.fc19,python-blivet-0.16-1.fc19,anaconda-19.30.6-1.fc19 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 19. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/pykickstart-1.99.32-1.fc19,python-blivet-0.16-1.fc19,anaconda-19.30.6-1.fc19 Package anaconda-19.30.7-1.fc19, pykickstart-1.99.32-1.fc19, python-blivet-0.16-1.fc19: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 19 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Description of problem: I did default installation Beta RC4 from x86_64 netinst.iso, with everything left at default values. This installation generated kickstart file, which I tried to use in ks=... cmdline argument. With this kickstart file, Anaconda crashes a while after it shows main GUI. The following was filed automatically by anaconda: anaconda 19.30-1 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 52, in add raise KeyError File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/storage.py", line 383, in execute target=self._doExecute)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 335, in _update_spokes spoke.execute() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 629, in <lambda> return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data) KeyError Version-Release number of selected component: anaconda-19.30-1 Additional info: reporter: libreport-2.1.4 cmdline: /usr/bin/python /sbin/anaconda cmdline_file: initrd=initrd.img inst.stage2=hd:LABEL=Fedora\x2019-Beta\x20x86_64 quiet ks=http://83.240.110.90/gen.ks BOOT_IMAGE=vmlinuz executable: /sbin/anaconda hashmarkername: anaconda kernel: 3.9.2-301.fc19.x86_64 product: Fedora release: Cannot get release name. type: anaconda version: 19-Beta Truncated backtrace: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 629, in <lambda> return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/hubs/__init__.py", line 335, in _update_spokes spoke.execute() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/storage.py", line 383, in execute target=self._doExecute)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/pyanaconda/threads.py", line 52, in add raise KeyError KeyError
