This is a QA0309 bug. I performed a text "workstation" install selecting "gnome". The install proceeded up to almost the end (doing the X configuration) and then crapped out with a traceback: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 508, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1225, in run File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 619, in __call__ OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/var/run/SERVER'
Fixed in latest tree.
