Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 238695
RAWHIDE boot.iso May 2nd 2007 Anaconda dies during disk partitioning
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:35 EDT
Description of problem: Using the boot.iso from the development tree, with a date of May 2nd, 2007 during an installation, Anaconda dies during disk partitioning, right after selecting a disk partitioning style to choose from. This machine has IDE devices all around, 3 IDE HDD, and one IDE CDROM. Noticeably, there are no disks listed to use, and you recieve a list index out of range exception. Screenshot will be provided, saving to a remote host is also broken to my knowledge. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda (RAWHIDE May 2nd, 2007) How reproducible: Bootstrap boot.iso from May 2nd, 2007, try to install with all IDE devices. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Screenshot provided.
Created attachment 153938 [details] Digital image of traceback
Fixed the traceback. But the fact that your drives don't appear is more worrisome. What type of controller are they connected to?
The machine consists of these controllers and PCI devices: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 440FX - 82441FX PMC [Natoma] (rev 02) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 ISA [Natoma/Triton II] (rev 01) 00:07.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 IDE [Natoma/Triton II] 00:07.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371SB PIIX3 USB [Natoma/Triton II] (rev 01) 00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: Davicom Semiconductor, Inc. 21x4x DEC-Tulip compatible 10/100 Ethernet (rev 40) 00:0e.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems TGUI 9440 (rev e3) I am fairly certain this board uses ata_piix.ko
Is this still a problem on current builds?
