Description Richard D. Payne 2000-07-12 19:20:34 UTC
The post install sections fails after all the packages are installed. Below
is the
anaconda traceback, this is using the updated ramdisk.img from
ftp://beta.redhat.com/pub/beta3/linux/updates/alpha

This was installing on a Mylex1100 RAID controller (DAC960) so the
partition names
are c0d0p1 instead of hda1 (sda1 etc....). The install proceded normally
for a standard
IDE disk.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 423, in ?
    intf.run(todo, test = test)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1002, in run
    rc = apply (step[1](), step[2])
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 487, in __call__
    if todo.doInstall ():
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1591, in doInstall
    self.milo.write ()
  File "/tmp/updates/milo.py", line 165, in write
    self.writeAboot ()
  File "/tmp/updates/milo.py", line 75, in writeAboot
    partition = partitionNum (bootDevice)
  File "/tmp/updates/milo.py", line 27, in partitionNum
    return string.atoi (path[i:])
ValueError: invalid literal for atoi(): 0d0p1

Local variables in innermost frame:
path: rd/c0d0p1
