Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 432362
Traceback from isys.py with dmraid
Last modified: 2013-01-09 23:34:03 EST
Right after choosing my keyboard (US english), anaconda had a fatal error. PDB says that isys.py:494 there is an error that RaidSet instances have no __getitem__. Fatal, can't go on any farther than that :(
I got the same thing, but I wrote down the stacktrace (as I was not able to upload it to a remote site). The problem occurs when a RaidSet is present as can be seen in the stacktrace (I copied another stacktrace and filled it out). I got a fakeraid controller, ICH9R, but I guess the bug is not chipset specific. The stacktrace: anaconda 11.4.0.28 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 494, in hardDriveDict ret[item] = dict[item]['description'] File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 841, in driveList drives = isys.hardDriveDict().keys() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 615, in startDmRaid (self.driveList(), )) ...

Digging around a little (and maybe I'm missing something), but I don't see that the description set in hardDriveDict is used anywhere. I changed it like: - ret[item] = dict[item]['description'] + try: + ret[item] = dict[item]['description'] + except: + ret[item] = "no description" and anaconda appeared to find the dmraid drives okay. The description is copied in partedUtils.py drivesByName, but I don't see that it is called anywhere. If the description really isn't used, maybe just drop trying to copy it?
Created attachment 299091 [details] Anaconda crash traceback I've run on the same problem today when trying to install Fedora 9 Beta. I tried installing from both full install DVD and Live DVD.
Fixed in git

Created attachment 299612 [details] Traceback in anaconda-11.4.0.61-1 Jeremy, I'm still getting the traceback (attached). I've tested with the released rawhide 20080328 snaphot and also reproduced with Fedora 9 Beta Live after updating anacona via yum to version 11.4.0.61-1 that's available in rawhide as of now.
The change in git adds an empty description. However, the problem isn't a missing description; it is that a RaidSet object doesn't have __getitem__ but hardDriveDict() in isys.py tries to access it that way. Either the RaidSet object (I believe from python-pyblock) needs to be updated to add __getitem__ or isys.py needs to be changed to not try to access it.
Confirmed, this still happens in rawhide 04/01. Going to get some attention on it since we have a box in the office that can reproduce.

Changing the subject to reflect what the bug actually is. This should be fixed with the work Peter Jones did last night and was built into anaconda this morning. It missed rawhide though, so will try later.
This is fixed. dmraid installs now boot.
