Created attachment 923387 [details] /var/tmp/ content as tar xz tarball Description of problem: installing from kickstart, with manual arranging disk partitions. After acknowledging start installation, anaconda format partitions and begin resolve package dependencies. After several minutes (still before own package installation) ends on fatal 'script error' in package mythweb (which was perhaps selected because I it was required by mythtv package which was specified in kickstart file). When I comment out all myth* packages and start installation again, then anaconda crashes even before it display main configuration window (where is possible select installation sources, where to install, language, keyboard, network, etc.). When only difference against previous attempt to install is perhaps fact that disk partitions was in second case formated, then it seems as problem may be there. Czech sentence 'Chybný popisovač souboru' may be translated as 'bad file descriptor'. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda from F20 netinst iso image Additional info: 1) I'm not sure when crashing in first install try is right too - maybe it would be better when acaconda intelligently omit package with 'script errors' or package which request it. 2) I report this issue now there manually, because when I try do automatic bugreport builded in anaconda, this end (during upload phase) with error: --- Running report_Bugzilla --- fatal: libcurl failed to execute the HTTP POST transaction, explaining: Peer's Certificate has expired, ('report_Bugzilla' exited with 1) and then only upload to backtrace server was possible (which i did - not sure what it is ;). Attached is tar xz archive from /var/tmp/, which hopefully contains files created by anaconda after crash (which hopefully should be attached to automatic bugreport, if it was successful)
Hmm, next installation attempt, made by the same method, was successful. Only difference against previous was that I set PCs clock (in previous installation was clock some as 01-Jan-2010 00:00, which is perhaps BIOS default). IMO it could possibly affect the submission of a report to Bugzilla (maybe TLS layer check this), but not a installation itself.
Created attachment 932623 [details] /tmp content after crash from another installation Another F20 x86_64 installation from kickstart, partitions were prepared before with gdisk. Now I tried install to two disks, /dev/sda (biosboot, /boot, swap, / with rest of the system) and sdb (/home and /mnt/data). Installation exits after formatting disks in "Starting package installation process" phase due to missing one dependent package in my repo (I miss here "Retry" button which was in old anaconda - then I could manually add the missing package and continue in installation. Now I have to repeat all installation from the beginning.). And when I start installation again, anaconda crashes with same error as described in this bugreport above ('OSError: [Errno 9] Bad file descriptor'). After I zeroed first several kB of each partitions sd{a,b}? then anaconda not crashed here (but then I have other problem later, as described in bug 1132658).
