Description of problem: Trying to upgrade an FC5 system to FC6, the installer exits abnormally Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC6 x86_64 CDROM ISOS How reproducible: Always happens on one particular machine. I've upgraded two other machines (i386, without RAID) from FC5 to FC6 without any trouble Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot off of FC6 X86_64 CD 1 of 6 2. verify media (or not, when trying the second time) 3. continue install Actual results: a bunch of error messages scroll by, the last remaining on the screen are: File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 444, in createDriveList dmsets = block.getRaidSets(drives) File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/block/__init__.ph", line 138, in getRaidSets for rs in apply(c.get_raidsets, disks, {}): block.dmraid.GroupingError: .dff1_disks install exited abnormally [1/1] sending termination signals...done ... Expected results: successful upgrade Additional info: This machine has six disks with three different raids spanning various disks: [ctm@pomo ~]$ cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid5] [raid4] [raid0] [raid1] md0 : active raid0 sda5[0] sdb5[1] sdc5[2] sdd5[3] sde5[4] sdf5[5] 281313408 blocks 64k chunks md2 : active raid1 sdc6[1] sdf6[0] 341614080 blocks [2/2] [UU] md1 : active raid5 sde6[2] sdd6[3] sdb6[0] sda6[1] 1024842240 blocks level 5, 64k chunk, algorithm 2 [4/4] [UUUU] unused devices: <none> I can easily provide other information (e.g., partition info) that I can get from a running system. Taking the machine down requires scheduling downtime with other people, but is doable.
