Problem description:
I was testing rescue of FC5 May1 on greenlp1. After the system ran into rescue
mode, I pressed OK to get a shell. FC5 reported:
-----------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 598, in ?
    rescue.runRescue(opts.rootPath, not opts.rescue_nomount, id)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 464, in runRescue
    runShell()
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 172, in runShell
    fcntl.ioctl(0, termios.TIOCSCTTY)
IOError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted
-----------


If this is a customer issue, please indicate the impact to the customer:


If this is not an installation problem,
       Describe any custom patches installed.

       Provide output from "uname -a", if possible:

Please provide access information for the machine if it is available.


Is this reproducible?
    If so, how long does it (did it) take to reproduce it?
    Describe the steps:
    1. bring up the existing FC5 system
    2. copy ramdisk.image.gz and vmlinuz from installation server to /boot on
greenlp1
    3. add an entry in /etc/yaboot.conf
    ----------
image=/vmlinuz
        label=rescue
        initrd=/ramdisk.image.gz
        read-only
        append="rescue"
    ----------
    4. reboot the system and select "rescue" in yaboot prompt
    5. config network for client and installation server
    6. FC5 runs into rescure mode
    7. press "Continue", select system to rescue and then press OK
    8. You will see the error

    If not, describe how the bug was encountered:


Is the system (not just the application) hung?
    If so, describe how you determined this:


Did the system produce an OOPS message on the console?
    If so, copy it here:


Is the system sitting in a debugger right now?
    If so, how long may it stay there?

I am changing the version to 'devel' to properly reflect that this recreates on
rawhide.

Red Hat Bugzilla 192017 indicates that it is CLOSED, but there are no comments
in this bug report to indicate work was done. Red Hat, is this fixed? In FC6?
FC7? Was this bug mistakenly CLOSED?

Red Hat Engineers: Could you please comment on the resolution of Bugzilla
192017. There are no comments in this bug report to indicate that the bug was
fixed other than the bug is marked CLOSED. Was it fixed?

Also, what does the external resolution of "RAWHIDE" mean to us? Was this fixed
in FC6? FC7? Please comment on how we should interpret "RAWHIDE".

Thank you. 

Comment 6 David Cantrell 2007-01-29 15:54:26 UTC
RAWHIDE is synonymous with the Fedora Development tree.  When we close an
_anaconda_ bug as CLOSED RAWHIDE, it means we've fixed it in the anaconda CVS
tree and our fix will be present in the next build of anaconda.  This may or may
not occur on the same day that we commit the fix to CVS because we don't always
rebuild anaconda after a single fix (otherwise we'd be building it thousands of
times).

The rawhide summary emails that go to the fedora-devel-list indicate what new
packages are present as well as the new changelog entries from the RPM spec
files.  Here is a sample:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-January/msg01499.html

If a bug you reported has been marked as CLOSED RAWHIDE, look at the rawhide
summary reports that go out daily.  When anaconda next appears in that list, it
means we've rebuilt it.  We put all bug numbers in the changelog for anaconda,
so you can check the summary to see yours in there.
