From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20030716 Description of problem: I am using the AS2.1 update re1215 cds to install a 8-way x445 system. If I have a lookout (the extra pic slots connected via a scacability cable) attached I get the following message (when using text mode) Running anconda - please wait... You're running me on a live system! that's incredibly stupid. install exited abnormally If I detach the lookout I do not see the issue. This was not seen in previous releases. What info do you need from the system? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): re1215 iso images How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install of the first 1215 cd 2.use text mode 3. Actual Results: The system hang with Running anconda - please wait... You're running me on a live system! that's incredibly stupid. install exited abnormally Expected Results: the system installer to work Additional info:
Please let me know what condition(s) causes Anaconda to issue the error message. This has occurred on multiple hardware systems so I doubt if it is a hardware issue.
Basically the number of drivers loaded + kernel threads end up making more processes than was generally expected to occur. Booting with 'linux nousb' if you don't need USB will help or 'linux noprobe' and only selecting the drivers needed for installation. Looking at doing more for U4

FROM ISSUE TRACKER Event posted 02-19-2004 04:50pm by brian.b with duration of 0.00 I have raised the priority on this back to Urgent. Of course, once we verify the fix it won't matter unless for some reason the test still fails. I don't think lowering the severity is appropriate though since you can't install on some systems, regardless of whether anyone has reported it. Incidentally, what is the fix? Severity set to: Urgent
