From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: Traceback issued by anaconda when booted in rescue mode: File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 592, in ? rescue.runRescue(rootPath, not escue_nomount, id) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 167, in runRescue os.symlink('/mnt/runtime/etc/' + file, '/etc/' + file) OSError: [Errno 17] File exists. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0.1-2.src.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot the rescue CD in the default mode. Actual Results: The exception above. Expected Results: Enter rescue mode. Additional info: The fact that I have LVM on this system may have something to do with the presence of /etc. Unfortunately I can't test this theory because all of my boxes have LVM.
Actually caused by a last minute change to workaround brokenness in libselinux :/ Fixed in CVS

Note that bug 129347 is about running rescue mode over NFS, using (non anonymous) FTP doesn't give me the same error.
boot.iso and base from 2004-08-09 fix the NFS issue for me. Not sure what "Boot the rescue CD in the default mode" means (what is the rescue CD?) but I guess this bug can be closed RAWHIDE.
