Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 How reproducible: Attempting second install now. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Install fails, throws exception, then reboots. Expected results: Installs cleanly, then reboots. Additional info:

Just reproduced the error. It formatted all the filesystems, transferred the image to the hard disk for the install and then throws an exception again. I've got a copy of it as well if anyone wants it. In the Exception details it says Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1253, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 245, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 951, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 146, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 217, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 156, in doPreInstall backend.doPreInstall(intf, id, instPath, dir) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 923, in doPreInstall id.fsset.write(instPath) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 1213, in write cf = self.mdadmConf() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 1202, in mdadmConf cf = cf + ent.device.mdadmLine() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 2029, in mdadmLine return "ARRAY %s/%s level=%s num-devices=%d uuid=%s\n" \ IndexError: list index out of range
Caused by RAID6 -- fixed in CVS
I'm new to logging a bug. So, how would I now try to install this again? Install from source RPMs, or download a "test" ISO from http://redhat.download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/5.90/i386/i so/ I'm fairly experienced at unix, but since this is happening upon install, I'm a bit baffled as to how I should continue. I sure don't want to wait until October for the full release of FC6.
