Please let me know when this might be fixed or how to proceed Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1732, in doInstall self.upgrade) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/lilo.py", line 247, in install instRoot + '/etc/lilo.conf.rpmsave') OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted Local variables in innermost frame: self: <lilo.LiloConfiguration instance at 842ef88> fstab: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 8491b50> lilo: # #Bastille note: this file is normally installed with #the ext2 "immutable" bit set to prevent editing. #If you need to edit it, use "chattr" to unset the #immutable bit first, then re-set the bit once you #are done. boot=/dev/hda map=/boot/map install=/boot/boot.b prompt timeout=50 default=linux image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.12-20 label=linux initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.12-20.img read-only root=/dev/hda1 perms: 384 upgrade: 1 hdList: <comps.HeaderListFromFile instance at 8482768> instRoot: /mnt/sysimage ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
Anaconda does not handle people who mark lilo.conf immutable. Interesting one. I agree we should try and handle it
I will make this an enhancement request. If you have a registration number for your product then Red Hat technical support should be able to help you get your system booting again.
