Description Jeremy Huber 2005-05-18 22:51:47 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
Apparently my partition info in my kickstart script is crashing anaconda during a PXE install. (haven't tried it via a normal install yet)  I used the following out of an anaconda-ks.conf file from a normal isntall:

bootloader --location=mbr
clearpart --linux --drives=sda
part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100 --ondisk=sda
part pv.2 --size=0 --grow --ondisk=sda
volgroup VolGroup00 pv.2
logvol swap --fstype swap --name=LogVol01 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=1000 --grow --maxsize=2000
logvol /var --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol02 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=70080
logvol / --fstype ext3 --name=LogVol00 --vgname=VolGroup00 --size=4096


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Simply load the KS file above


Actual Results:  Anaconda crash/debug:

The last bit is:
 File "/usr/src/build/475969-i386/install//usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 361, in fitSized
  requestSectors = long ((request.requestSize * 1024L * 1024L) / part.disk.dev.sector_size) - 1
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for *: 'NoneType' and 'long'

Expected Results:  Kept going..

Additional info:

Does this go away if you specify a size other than 0 for pv.2? :)

Comment 2 Jeremy Huber 2005-05-19 14:02:19 UTC
*mutter* as a matter of fact, it does.  So why did it stick the 0 in anaconda-
ks.conf then?  Thanks for the help.

I got bit by this too.. it would be nice of anaconda-ks.cfg contained valid code.
