Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 36137
weird BUGZILLA report with INSTALLER
Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:32:41 EDT
I installed RedHat 7.0 on my IBM Thinkpad iSeries laptop without difficulty three months. Then I removed it. Now I tried to put it back again and hit a snag. I tried both a graphical install and a text one, and both times it told me to file this report. Attached below are the two outputs, which were slightly different, so I thought it prudent to supply both. Do you have any idea why this bug should show up now, and didn't on previous installs on the same machine? Any help would be appreciated, since I can't install/use RedHat Linux because the installer just reboots (after showing this bugzilla message). ------------------ Graphical install attempt: Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInstall if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selected()): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + \ IndexError: list index out of range Local variables in innermost frame: fstab: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 844b5d0> mntPoint: /mnt/sysimage selected: [ImageMagick, LPRng, MAKEDEV, Mesa, Mesa-devel, ORBit, SDL, SysVinit, XFree86, XFree86-75dpi-fonts, XFree86-devel, XFree86-libs, XFree86-tools, XFree86-twm, XFree86-xdm, XFree86-xfs, Xaw3d, Xaw3d-devel, Xconfigurator, anacron, apmd, arpwatch, ash, at, audiofile, aumix, authconfig, autoconf, automake, awesfx, basesystem, bash, bc, bdflush, bind-utils, binutils, bison, byacc, bzip2, bzip2-devel, cdecl, cdparanoia, chkconfig, chkfontpath, compat-egcs, compat-egcs-c++, compat-glibc, compat- libstdc++, console-tools, control-panel, cpio, cpp, cproto, cracklib, cracklib-dicts, crontabs, ctags, cvs, cyrus-sasl, db1, db2, db3, dev, dev86, dhcpcd, diffstat, diffutils, docbook, dosfstools, dump, e2fsprogs, ed, eject, esound, file, filesystem, fileutils, findutils, finger, flex, fortune-mod, freetype, ftp, gawk, gcc, gcc-c++, gcc-java, gd, gd-devel, gdb, gdbm, gdbm-devel, gettext, ghostscript, ghostscript-fonts, gimp, glib, glib-devel, glibc, glibc-devel, gmp, gnome-audio, gnome-libs, gnome- linuxconf, gnupg, gphoto, gpm, gpm-devel, grep, groff, groff-perl, gtk+, gtk+-devel, gv, gzip, hdparm, imlib, indent, indexhtml, info, initscripts, ipchains, iproute, iptables, iputils, irda-utils, isapnptools, isdn- config, isdn4k-utils, jed, jed-common, jed-xjed, jikes, kaffe, kbdconfig, kdebase, kdegraphics, kdelibs, kdelibs-devel, kdemultimedia, kdenetwork, kdesupport, kdesupport-devel, kdeutils, kdevelop, kernel, kernel-headers, kernel-pcmcia-cs, kernel-utils, kernelcfg, kgcc, kpppload, krb5-devel, krb5-libs, kudzu, kudzu-devel, less, libgcj, libgcj-devel, libglade, libjpeg, libjpeg-devel, libpng, libpng-devel, libstdc++, libstdc++-devel, libtermcap, libtermcap-devel, libtiff, libtiff-devel, libtool, libtool- libs, libungif, libungif-devel, libxml, lilo, linuxconf, linuxconf-devel, logrotate, losetup, lsof, ltrace, m4, mailcap, mailx, make, man, man- pages, memprof, mikmod, mingetty, mkbootdisk, mkinitrd, mkisofs, mktemp, mkxauth, modemtool, modutils, mount, mouseconfig, mpage, mpg123, mtools, multimedia, ncftp, ncompress, ncurses, ncurses-devel, ncurses4, net-tools, netcfg, netpbm, netpbm-devel, netpbm-progs, netscape-common, netscape- communicator, newt, newt-devel, nfs-utils, njamd, ntsysv, openjade, openldap, openssh, openssh-askpass, openssh-clients, openssl, openssl- devel, pam, passwd, patch, pciutils, pciutils-devel, perl, pidentd, playmidi, plugger, pmake, pnm2ppa, popt, portmap, ppp, printtool, procmail, procps, psmisc, pump, pwdb, pygnome, pygtk, pygtk-libglade, python, python-devel, python-xmlrpc, pythonlib, qt, qt-devel, qt1x, qt1x- devel, quota, raidtools, rcs, rdate, readline, readline-devel, redhat- logos, redhat-release, rhn_register, rhn_register-gnome, rhs-printfilters, rmt, rootfiles, rp-pppoe, rpm, rpm-build, rpm-devel, rpm-python, rsh, rusers, rwho, rxvt, samba-client, samba-common, sane, sash, screen, sed, sendmail, setserial, setup, setuptool, sgml-common, sgml-tools, sh-utils, shadow-utils, shapecfg, sharutils, slang, slang-devel, slocate, smpeg, sndconfig, sox, stat, statserial, strace, stylesheets, switchdesk, sysklogd, talk, tar, tcl, tclx, tcp_wrappers, tcsh, telnet, termcap, tetex- fonts, tetex-xdvi, texinfo, textutils, time, timeconfig, timetool, tix, tk, tkinter, tksysv, tmpwatch, traceroute, unzip, up2date, up2date-gnome, urw-fonts, usermode, utempter, util-linux, vim-common, vim-minimal, vixie- cron, which, whois, wireless-tools, words, wvdial, xinitrc, xisdnload, xloadimage, xmms, xmorph, xpaint, xpdf, xsane, xscreensaver, xsri, xxgdb, yp-tools, ypbind, zip, zlib, zlib-devel] self: <image.CdromInstallMethod instance at 8447cb8> p: gcc-java changeloop: 1 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> ------------------ Textual install attempt: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?

I can't explain why the bug would appear three months later...that's kind of strange. However, this bug has been reported many times. Have a look at bug #19928 for more information. Are you trying to install to a FAT partition this time and maybe you didn't last time? We just released 7.1 today, and this bug has been fixed in 7.1, so if you have the bandwidth, I'd recommend downloading it. From looking at bug #19928, the bug reporter says that the anaconda updates disk that we released for 7.0 fixed the problem. It can be found at http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000-084.html Since this bug is fixed in 7.1, I'm resolving the bug as 'Current Release"
