anaconda crashes with traceback soon after 2nd stage begins. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-20060728 Still looking for conditions that don't trigger this, will add as comments. The ks.cfg I'm attaching shortly tracebacks ever time. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 971, in ? anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 491, in run (step, instance) = anaconda.dispatch.currentStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 222, in currentStep self.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 123, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 200, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 1464, in doAutoPartition doPartitioning(diskset, partitions, doRefresh = 0) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 1008, in doPartitioning processPartitioning(diskset, requests, newParts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 952, in processPartitioning fitSized(diskset, requests, 1, newParts) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/autopart.py", line 347, in fitSized disk = diskset.disks[drive] KeyError: 'sda'

That's because you don't appear to have an sda and just have an sde....
partitions on the system post-install look like: Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 14 14593 117113850 8e Linux LVM sda1 is /boot, sda2 is the lvm part for root. CD-ROM is hdc. This is printed to serial console during install: Adding 2031608k swap on /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:2031608k kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3 FS on dm-0, internal journal EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. SELinux: initialized (dev dm-0, type ext3), uses xattr kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds EXT3 FS on sde1, internal journal Removed partition steps from ks.cfg and retried. When prompted to select a partition for install, the only available partition is sde. At this point, tty3 contains: WARNING : requested drive sda in boot drive order doesn't exist WARNING : step installtype does not exist WARNING : step complete does not exist WARNING : step complete does not exist WARNING : step complete does not exist INFO : moving (1) to step partionobjinit INFO : no initiator set ERROR : could not create directory //dev/mapper: File exists. INFO : moving (1) to step parttype Selected sde for installation, and format of / began. Installation continued through completion. After package installation, the following message was printed several (4-6) times, then the expected text messages about shutdown: Disk not ready. Make sure that there is a disk in the drive. post-install, the system boots without problem.
Still occuring with rawhide-20060801
Fixed in CVS (Note, you can workaround by not specifying explicitly that you want to use sda and instead letting anaconda figure it out for itself)
