I also have a crash when choosing upgrade, at the same point as described above. My two differences are as follows: 1) I am upgrading from RH9 instead of Fedora Cora test 2 2) I have a different crash error message: (I can attach the crash log if it will help). I recieve the same error message installing from the ISOs, or doing an ftp install from a separately downloaded boot.iso Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 766, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 168, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 236, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/upgrade.py", line 338, in upgradeFindPackages method.mergeFullHeaders(id.grpset.hdrlist) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 217, in mergeFullHeaders fn = self.getFilename("RedHat/base/hdlist2", callback=None) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/urlinstall.py", line 117, in getFilename log("IOError %s occurred getting %s: %s" File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rhpl/log.py", line 47, in __call__ self.handler (format % args) TypeError: not enough arguments for format string
I got the same error when trying to upgrade Fedora test2 0.94 upto test3 0.95. It was the same Exception Occured even running GUI or TUI installer. I made those anacdump.txt diskettes. I'll attach both GUI and TUI logs here.
Created attachment 95154 [details] anacdump.txt from GUI upgrade exeception error
Created attachment 95155 [details] anacdump.txt from TUI upgrade exeception error
I have exactly the same problem, stack trace is the same.
Fixed in CVS, update disk at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/severn-t3-updates.img

Are you going to update ISO image for disc 1, or how to patch this disk? I never did that. Thanks.
http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/updatedisks.html has instructions on using an update disk

severn-t3-updates.img helped for me. Tnx. Jussi

Using the severn-t3-updates.img, URL above, still have problems: Running Anaconda Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 344, in ? input dispatch File "/usr/lib/anaconda", dispatch.py, line 36, in ? from upgrade input upgradeFindPackages, upgradeMountFilesystems File "/tmp/updates", upgrade.py, line 371 ^ Syntax error: invalid syntax The install bombs again. Sorry if there are minor errors in the above, I had to write it down then retype it.
Addendum to Additional Comment #16, above: playing around with the update referenced above, I found either the downloaded image or floppy disk mde from it was faulty. Redoing this led to upgrade going fine. Resolved.
Perhaps this update should be mentioned on the fedora.redhat.com site? Most if not all of the users will be upgrading from a previous release and this defect will no doubt be reporting continuously.

I see the same basic problem: - Upgrade from RH 9 works - Upgrade from RH 10 beta1 works - Upgrade from FC 1 test2 crashes (GUI and TUI; booting from floppy or CD)

.img solution doesn't work for me as my system does not have a floppy. Please give me an idea as to how to proceed.

This should be closed right?
I have a similar problem when upgrading from Fedora Core 2 to Fedora Core 3 Test 1. Here's the output: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1145, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 486, in run dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 237, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 737, in doPreInstall os.mkdir(instPath + "/selinux") OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/mnt/sysimage/selinux'
Hello, The problem I had was that an old version of linuxconf was partially installed/uninstalled. A 'rpm -e ..' didn't work because it complained about a script error (I did this in Dec. 2003 and forgot to take notes), so I upgraded to the latest version of linuxconf (rpm -Uvh) then uninstalled it. The installation of Fedora Core 1 then completed correctly. Same method worked on a similar system with the same problem.
OSError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/mnt/sysimage/selinux' still present in fc3test1.
dkl, that's a completely different bug (bug #127713)
