Currently Pungi has a bug - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1313949 - causing the i686 kernels to be included in x86_64 repo. When you do an x86_64 install of current Rawhide or F24, you get the i686 PAE kernel instead of an x86_64 kernel, and the system fails to boot: https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/tests/7017 obviously Pungi shouldn't be doing this, but ideally anaconda would prefer an x86_64 kernel to an i686 one for an x86_64 install, I think. It may be that this is made difficult by the need to prefer PAE kernels for 32-bit installs? But I figured I'd file it. I'm nominating both this and the Pungi bug as Alpha blockers for now, that way we can decide which one is most important/simplest to fix and take it.
*** Bug 1314027 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Discussed at today's blocker review meeting [1]. Removing blocker nomination, because we accepted bug 1315434 as a blocker, which is a superset of this. Either this bug or bug 1313949 needs to get fixed. [1] https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2016-03-07/
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/542 should fix this, I think. I'll test it.
anaconda-24.13.1-1.fc24 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 24. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-d85d9ad927
anaconda-24.13.1-1.fc24 has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Updates_Testing for instructions on how to install test updates. You can provide feedback for this update here: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-d85d9ad927
The latest live image still contains some i686 packages which also get installed after updating to anaconda-24.13.1-1.fc24 in the running live session: - nss-softokn-freebl-3.23.0-0.1.fc24.i686 - glibc-2.23.1-5.fc24.i686 - xorg-x11-drv-geode-2.11.18-1.fc24.i686 Since anaconda-24.13.1-1.fc24 is in the updates testing repository, it is not possible to test the network install which would require an updated boot media. If I understand correctly though, these updates will only be merged into the main repository after the Fedora 24 Alpha freeze unless some test images are released.
please file a separate issue for that, that bug is not this bug.
(In reply to Fedora Update System from comment #5) Neither current Fedora 24 x86_64 live media nor current x86_64 boot images (both sporting the older anaconda-24.13-1.fc24) do include/install i686 kernel packages.
None of the images ever did include 32-bit kernels. The network installer (mostly) no longer installs them because we also fixed this from the other end; Pungi now properly excludes the 32-bit kernels from the x86_64 repos again. The anaconda fix is still valid but less urgently needed. We have not done any builds with the anaconda from updates-testing because David Shea tells me it will likely crash the way the current Rawhide installer does, due to locale issues (it includes a change to C.UTF-8 as the default locale which turns out to have been a bad idea).
