Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-03 16:54:33 UTC
It works if you specify them manually, right?

Comment 2 Tim Waugh 2004-08-03 16:57:16 UTC
It works fine to specify them when asked for them -- just not on the
kernel command line.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-03 16:58:56 UTC
What's the last bit on tty3 when it segfaults?

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2004-08-03 17:20:32 UTC
* sending dhcp request through device eth0


Comment 5 Jeremy Katz 2004-08-03 17:40:20 UTC
Committed something to CVS that might fix it (not exactly sure where
you're hitting it and I don't have a spare laptop at home to test
with).  Will be in tomorrow's tree.

Comment 6 Tim Waugh 2004-08-05 10:51:35 UTC
Today's rawhide tree (including
anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040803165421.i386.rpm) still shows the problem. 
No difference.

Comment 7 Tim Waugh 2004-08-17 12:07:08 UTC
This still happens.  anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040813144102.i386.rpm

Comment 8 Tim Waugh 2004-10-13 15:21:53 UTC
This still happens.  anaconda-10.0.3.16-1.i386.rpm

Comment 9 Jeremy Katz 2005-04-12 21:21:19 UTC
Committed something to fix this to CVS 

Comment 10 Tim Waugh 2005-05-24 10:16:10 UTC
No, still happens with anaconda-10.2.0.64-1.i386.rpm.

Comment 11 Jeremy Katz 2005-05-25 15:13:21 UTC
Worked in my test case, will look at more 

Comment 12 Chris Lumens 2006-03-02 15:30:20 UTC
Is this still happening with test3?  We have some better debugging stuff in the
loader now that should at least allow us to narrow down where the segfault is
happening.
