Hide Forgot
Description of problem: During installation today using rawhide 20080115 boot.iso stage2.img net install, anaconda complains about not being able to unmount /mnt/source (see attach). The RPM it had downloaded is also shown in VT as corrupt. Installation could not continue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Have not attempted reinstall yet.
Created attachment 291792 [details] error message, text installer
Created attachment 291793 [details] VT 3 image
Created attachment 291794 [details] umount /mnt/source on VT 2, fails
Clicking OK in the installer causes the shown error message to be repeated for each time, exception in _unmountCD.
I got this too on an http install going to a shell and mounting $ANYTHING on /mount/source, to give it something to unmount, got past it. But then I too had a corrupt and/or unfound downloaded rpm, and install bailed.
so, it appears that it's confused about whether it has install media: if self.currentMedia is None: try: isys.umount(self.tree) except: pass else: unmountCD(self.tree, self.anaconda.intf.messageWindow) self.currentMedia = None but this was a net install... yet I got to unmountCD? also, getting past that, I hit a dialog with: "the file blah cannot be opened... verify installation source.\nIf you exit, your system will be left in an inconsistent state ...." [Reboot][Reboot] this is because I failed to d/l an rpm through my mod_cache server, I think - tho maybe anaconda should retry? Anyway, the fun 2 choices between reboot & reboot: yuminstall.py:528 def _handleFailure(self, package): if not self.isodir and self.currentMedia: buttons = [_("Re_boot"), _("_Eject")] else: buttons = [_("Re_boot"), _("_Reboot")]
I think this will be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Since you guys have no problems with having corrupted or missing packages, please give it a try and let me know. Thanks.
Just did an install on the rescue cd i386 iso built by releng and this is no longer an issue at least there. (I didn't see anaconda version for it, but its current rawhide as of my comment) If the other posters see this occur again report back; I'm going to close it for now.
