Description Ann Bontatibus 2006-01-20 23:06:31 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Description of problem:
My system has a Tyan S2892 motherboard, which has (2) Broadcom NetXtreme 
GigaBit ethernet and (1) Intel PRO/100 ethernet. If you startup with 
"linux rescue"), and accept the defaults (dhcp, et al), it crashes.  
Here's the traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 604, in ?
rescue.runRescue(rootPath, not rescue_nomount, id)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue/py", line 209, in runRescue
rc = apply(win, (screen, ) + args)b><Tab>/<Alt-Tab> between elements| <Space> selects | <F12> next screen
TypeError: __call__() takes exactly 6 arguments (5 given)
install exited abnormally

I also tried this assigning IP's instead of using DHCP - same result




Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL4U2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above

Actual Results:  See above
