From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Custom boot disk (ATA100 support) + RH7 CD. The system is running RAID1 on all partitions. If I select the upgrade path, I get the following exception. I cannot seem to get it to save to floppy (i put in a new floppy and the disk moves and then I'm asked for another one, rinse and repeat) so I'm typing it in. Hopefully I'll have gotten everything. The RAID is autostarted (all are fd and the status of the raid starting goes by at boot). Note: that I must manually create each raid device in /dev, and do a raidstop on each too boot cleanly. Simply ctrl-alt-del causes an oops. ========= Traceback (inntermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1028, in run rc = apply (step[1](), (dir,) + step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 245, in __call__ parts = todo.upgradeFindRoot () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 841, in upgradeFindRoot mdList = raid.startAllRaid(drives) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/raid.py", line 63, in startAllRaid isys.raidstart(devName, deviceList[0]) File "isys.py", line 38, in raidstart _isys.raidstart(fd, "/tmp/member") SystemError: (17, 'File exists') ====== /tmp/member does exist -- looks like a big binary file. Resolution: stop all raid devices *before* starting the upgrade thing. If I go to the bash prompt (VC2), do a: cd /dev; for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do mknod md$i; done for i in md*; do raidstop /dev/$i; done Then let the upgrade continue. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Do an upgrade install 2. 3.
Can you try this again, and 'cat /proc/mdstat' when you get the traceback? Seeing your /etc/raidtab would be good as well.
