Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version in F7T4. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installed the F7T4 iso for amd64 under Vmware 6, using the default settings throughout, except that at package selection I deselected the first option (Office packages IIRC) and selected the second (Software development?). Actual results: At the bootloader installation, progress stopped. I found the following trace on the console output: Error running [ '--update', '--nostart', '--enableshadow', '--enablemd5']: /usr/sbin/authconfig cannot be run self.hostname = localhost.localdomain lokkit run failed: /usr/sbin/lokkit can not be run lokkit run failed: /usr/sbin/lokkit can not be run moving (1) to step firstboot moving (1) to step instbootloader vg VolGroup00, size is 4992, pesize is 32768 vg VolGroup00, size is 4992, pesize is 32768 vg VolGroup00, size is 4992, pesize is 32768 vg VolGroup00, size is 4992, pesize is 32768 CRITICAL: Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/rhpl/executil.py", line 81, in execWithRedirect File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 958, in writeGrub File "/usr/lib/booty/bootloaderInfo.py", line 1159, in write File "/usr/lib/anaconda/bootloader.py", line 190, in writeBootloader File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 203, in moveStep File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 126, in gotoNext File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1041, in nextClicked File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 67, in renderCallback File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1068, in handleRenderCallback OSError: [Error 2] No such file or directory Expected results: Installation completes successfully :) Additional info: Marking high priority because of the impending release of FC7.
How much memory did you give to the VM? Also, can you get the full /tmp/anaconda.log as well as /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log and /tmp/syslog?
I tried several times, always giving it at least 256 megs of RAM. I try to get logs off it, but without success. Will try again and see if I can get them this time.
Ok. This attempt failed right at the start of installing packages. I had to manually bring up eth0 and manually set the address and netmask (having asked to get them by dhcp, which works with my M$ guest). That done, I got the logs I'll attach in a second. /mnt/sysimage/root/install.log didn't exist. I'll try again to see if I can get the original log.
Created attachment 155213 [details] Anaconda log from most recent attempt.
Created attachment 155214 [details] Syslog from the same attempt.
By the way, the above is from a text mode installation attempt, if it makes any difference.
I'm sorry, but since the original report, I've been unable to get as far as the bootloader installation again, so I've been unable to get more detailed debug info for you. Any hints on the LVM issue that would help me get further?
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
This bug has been in NEEDINFO for more than 30 days since feedback was first requested. As a result we are closing it. If you can reproduce this bug in the future against a maintained Fedora version please feel free to reopen it against that version.
