Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:45 EST
Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Oct3 snapshot of rawhide How reproducible: easy Steps to Reproduce: 1. netboot ppc64 system with rawhide ppc64.img (Oct 3 version) text install mode power5 system has Veth for eth0, Vscsi client disks: sda, sdb configure eth0 as static and point to nfs://rhlte/distros/rawhide_snap/ dir 2. anaconda will start. accept default partitioning offered (doesn't seem to matter). 3. when eth0 config menu is offered, accept defaults offered (is same as when i config'd it to start the nfs install): dhcp: not selected ipv4: selected ipv6: not selected activate on boot: selected correct static ip and netmask are offered. click ok and anaconda crashes. Actual results: cannot install Expected results: successful install Additional info: I will attach the traceback Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/textw/network_text.py", line 387, in runScreen self.handleBroadCastError() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/textw/network_text.py", line 434, in __call__ showonboot) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 517, in run rc = win(self.screen, instance) File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 956, in ? anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) AttributeError: NetworkDeviceWindow instance has no attribute 'handleBroadCastError'
Created attachment 137715 [details] traceback
I committed a fix for this earlier today. I discovered I had forgotten to define the handleBroadCastError() function in network_text.py (did the ipv6 changes in network_gui.py first), and that was getting called because the network and broadcast address calculation was failing on big endian systems. Also fixed that today. A new anaconda was submitted for building at the end of the workday on Oct 3, so the fixes should be present in the Oct 4 tree composition for rawhide. Thanks.
