This gives a better traceback now. Making it even better is in the works for when I completely revamp the kickstart parser. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: The ks config file contained lines like part / --size 4000 --ondisk=sda when it meant part / --size 4000 --ondisk=hda This provoked an unhandled exception in anaconda. Although the dump gave enough info to deduce the problem (the last line was KeyError: sda ), I would have thought this error could be caught and handled more elegantly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sorry don't know -- haven't installed yet. RH9 FCS version of anaconda. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Get a machine with an IDE disk 2.Put a line such as "part / --size 4000 --ondisk=sda" in the kickstart config file. 3.Boot into the automatic installation procedure. Actual Results: Unhandled exception occurred, which nevertheless gave enough info to fix the problem. Expected Results: A nice error message saying "you have given a directive relating to /dev/sda but there are no scsi disks on this system". Additional info:
