I am attempting to install beta3 (fisher) under vmware. VMware has a special XF86 driver/config but does support basic VGA also. I selected a basic install and specified I had generic VGA. I got the following traceback/error: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 503, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1179, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda.py", line 529, in __call__ if server: NameError: server I can install RHL 7 with no problems.
Installation under VMware is not supported.
It seems to me that this is a bug in anaconda and will show up with someone with a vga compatible card. The new anaconda does not allow selection of a generic card if it believes it knows the video type.
Ok we can test that. Brent does this make sense?
Another datapoint -- I was able to successfully install beta3 as a vmware guest by specifying "unlisted" adapter and then selecting vga-16. Install completed and system booted fine.
This is a dupe of 25298. The server variable wasn't being properly initialized. This has already been fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 25298 ***
