I think that you might have a bad cd. Can you look on VC3 and VC4 and see if there are any error messages? Nevermind, it was a configuration problem in the hardware. |
Description of problem: In a text mode install, the installer crashes while trying to update the progress bar due to a divide by zero error. More frightening, however, is that the python interpreter doesn't appear to always catch the divide-by-zero, as on another occasion, the installer died in a signal 8. How reproducible: Sometimes - it sometimes works without crashing, other times very early. Additional info: Here's a python traceback. Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 520, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1126, in run rc = apply (step[1](), args) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 551, in __call__ if todo.doInstall (): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1852, in doInstall (p, self.intf.messageWindow, pkgTimer)) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1588, in instCallback intf.setPackageScale(amount, total) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 633, in setPackageScale self.s.set(int(((amount * 1.0)/ total) * 100)) ZeroDivisionError: float division Local variables in innermost frame: total: 570924 amount: 350936 self: <text.InstallProgressWindow instance at 987df08> ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'resState' p3 S'' sS'progressWindow' p4 (itext ProgressWindow (dp5 S'scale' p6 NsS'screen' p7 (isnack SnackScreen p8 (dp9 S'height' p10 I25 sS'width' p11 I80 sS'helpCb' p12 <failed> Let me know if there is any information you need that would help.
