I had to copy this by hand so if something looks weird about the above let me know and I will provide more info.
Oh and one more thing, I am using selinux=0 at boot time to get around the dhcp bug.
Booting with 'selinux=0', although a workaround for the DHCP thing is going to cause lots of other problems during installation. I'd rather get a fix for bug 114092 and not have to boot with 'selinux=0' :-)
OK. I reran anaconda without selinux=0 and I set the address manually. This appears to fix that problem. I now can get up to the point where it fails with some kind of pango error. Are you aware of this error or should I file a bug with the information? The first line of the error is GetTextSearchFlags is not an eunm type. If you want a bug what component should I file it against?? Anaconda?? Should we just close this?? Thanks.
The pango error is already known. Going to leave this open as the failure mode for selinux=0 should be nicer :)
FWIW, I ran anaconda this morning with the image from Jan 29 and setting selinux=0 appears to now do the right thing (tm). I did not actually complete the install but I ran it up to the point of selecting packages and everything seemed fine.
Yeah, I fixed this now :)
This should be good with current trees
