anacdump.txt during install (after formatting filesystems!)
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:20 EST
Description of problem: Install fails with attached anacdump.txt after formatting the hard disks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-20060109/x86_64 How reproducible: 100%
Created attachment 123012 [details] anacdump.txt
It looks like a lot of packages did not get installed (like shadow-utils, system-config-securitylevel, etc.). Can you provide more details about your installation? Please describe hardware, install method, and any relevant choices you made during installation.
Nothing got installed, the installer never got that far. The machine is a Dell Dimension 470n w/Dual 2.8 Ghz (x86_64) Xeons. I had done an interactive, custom selection of packages and installed everything (BTW- Where did you guys hide the "everything" button? Individual selection is a PITA.) except foreign language support. FWIW- I can install Test2 for x86_64 now without error on this machine, and this bug should probably be closed. (I'll open a new bug for other installer problems I'm having).
From your anacdump file, anaconda at least moved into the package installation steps. Strange that nothing got installed. The everything button is on the way out for now as we gradually move towards having multiple repositories enabled and so forth. When we have that, everything is truly going to be a gigantic amount of stuff and is going to get very complicated. Jeremy can explain the rationale for this better than I can, but that's the condensed version. Closing bug based on comment #4.
