Created attachment 793761 [details] console 3
Created attachment 793763 [details] console 4 I can reproduce it also with 20130831, but not with TC2 image.
Based on the console 4 screenshot, the VM ran out of memory and the kernel killed anaconda. Does this occur in a VM with more memory available?
I use 1 GB RAM, which is default for Fedora 19 in virt-manager. But I can't reproduce this bug with TC4 images, nor 20130904 nighly build. Have you tried to fix it or is this heisenbug?
Created attachment 794354 [details] console 4 without OOM kill It's definitively a heisenbug. I can reproduce it with 20130903 nightly build on both i686 and x86_64, but with TC4 or 20130904 only on i686. I have console 4 screenshot after WSoD, but without OOM kill.
This is back for Fedora 23 Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23_Alpha_TC2.iso This problem has to be reopened. This is how to cause it to occur After accepting the warning message, if the continue happens to be clicked before the above message is cleared from the screen (because it may take a few seconds to disappear), the text is gone from the white rectangle. When this happens, clicking on Continue is ineffective, clicking on the white rectangle locks up anaconda with only the system reset button on the computer as the only recourse. This problem can be demonstrated with Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23_Alpha_TC2.iso
Thank you for the explanation, I'm able to reproduce this.
David You have my email address. Can you advise me when you would like me to stress test this aspect of anaconda? Regards
