From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: exception thrown due to missing libparted the error occurs on the installation screen and I couldn't copy all the messages before the machine rebooted Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-10.0.2-0.20040816174758 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. burn boot.iso to CD-RW 2. boot and answer questions (HTTP install) 3. watch anaconda startup fail Actual Results: missing library exception Additional info:
Fixed with pyparted 1.6.8. parted ABI changed in 1.6.12 and I didn't think about that consequence yesterday.
now anaconda fails with a couple of partition related assertion failures! Assertion (ped_partition_is_active(part)) at disk.c:935 in function ped_partition_get_flag() failed. [ignore selected, then ] Assertion (par->disk_specific != NULL ) at disk_dos.c:1161 in function msdos_partition_get_flag() failed. [there are no msdos partitions on the disks of this system] This is probably also from the parted stuff, do you want a new bug created?
anaconda (rawhide) of 2004-08-18 still throws the first assertion bug, but selecting "cancel" allows installation to proceed. additionally, installation of IPROUTE RPM still fails unless selinux=0 is given on the boot line
Jeremy, I'm seeing the behavior ggw describes in Comment #3 in the rawhide-20040823 tree. Clicking "Cancel" appears to allow anaconda to proceed, but this is something that should be looked at. Setting state to Assigned.
Please file that as a separate bug. Otherwise, things are going to get hopelessly confused (and I have a box I can reproduce this on, just need the hour or so to sit down and debug it).
Ok, I just filed bug #130692.
