Description of problem: Burned boot.iso from the images directory to a CDRW, booted, selected "http" install method, see nasty messages on blue anaconda screen, exits with signal 6, and best of all, i can now safely reboot my system. Note: -> no wierd messages on 4th vt. -> fc5 installed fine If this is a dupe, I can't find the original, if more information is required, i can setup a serial console tommorow in the office and get the exact messages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
I think I am seeing the same thing and have some more details. installing tree: rawhide-20060621 / anaconda-11.1.0.46-1 Hardware: HP rx2600 ia64. However I do _not_ see it on ally of my HP Integrity servers. ** glibc detected *** /sbin/loader: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x60000000000d8180 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= [0x40000000002c24d0] [0x40000000002cbaa0] [0x4000000000030d40] [0x4000000000036f70] [0x400000000002ba70] [0x400000000001e450] [0x4000000000007bf0] [0x400000000026dd90] [0x4000000000000280] ======= Memory map: ======== 00000000-00004000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 2000000000030000-2000000000070000 rw-p 2000000000030000 00:00 0 2000000000100000-2000000000124000 rw-p 2000000000100000 00:00 0 2000000000124000-2000000000200000 ---p 2000000000124000 00:00 0 4000000000000000-4000000000464000 r-xp 00000000 00:01 29 /sbin/loader 6000000000000000-600000000002c000 rw-p 00460000 00:01 29 /sbin/loader 600000000002c000-60000000001f8000 rw-p 600000000002c000 00:00 0 [heap] 60000fff7fffc000-60000fff80000000 rw-p 60000fff7fffc000 00:00 0 60000ffffed74000-60000ffffedc8000 rw-p 60000ffffed74000 00:00 0 [stack] a000000000000000-a000000000020000 ---p 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] install exited abnormally -- received signal 6 sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /proc/bus/usb done /proc done /dev/pts done /sys done /tmp/ramfs done you may safely reboot your system
We've fixed a number of these... do these still occur with 0625 or later?
I'm seeing this with 0626 i386 boot.iso trying to do a network install under qemu (both ftp and http).
I see this on PowerPC (Apple Macintosh model M8570, PowerMac G4 1GHz "silver drive doors" circa 2003) I used FC-development-ppc-rescuecd.iso 2006-Jun-25 23:43:00 98.7M application/octet-stream with md5sum 1b7f0c7e1fe381ee40c117cbd49bfbcd. I booted "linux askmethod", HTTP, fedora.cat.pdx.edu , linux/core/development/ppc/os/Fedora . Then: *** glibc detected *** /sbin/loader: double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x104b4930 Backtrace: 0x10162af0 0x10162d6c 0x1001cb1c 0x10017588 0x10012a70 0x10136b00 0x10136cb0
I wonder if bug 196419 is the same problem? (I see the same kind of heap errors once I captured the console output, but in a different program: /sbin/kpartx for me, and more important my 2nd drive won't talk to me).
