Description of problem: When installing kernel i686 2.6.24.3-12.fc8 updates-testing 17 M I end up with Installing: kernel ##################### [ 31/188] nash received SIGSEGV! Backtrace (11): /sbin/nash[0x805314a] [0x12c440] /lib/libglib-2.0.so.0[0x4c22bf1] /usr/lib/libbdevid.so.6.0.19(bdevid_module_unload_all+0x31)[0x135e37] /usr/lib/libbdevid.so.6.0.19(bdevid_destroy+0x2d)[0x13557c] /usr/lib/libnash.so.6.0.19[0x197174] /usr/lib/libnash.so.6.0.19(nash_vitals_destroy_probes+0x3f)[0x1977ec] /usr/lib/libnash.so.6.0.19(_nashFreeContext+0x1c)[0x187fc6] /sbin/nash[0x80536e4] /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe0)[0xbf0390] /sbin/nash[0x804ae61] the kernel is itself installed but the grub lines are not configured. This is the first kernel I ran into problems. Maybe it's nash fault but there's no BZ component for this. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.24.3-12.fc8 nash-6.0.19-4.fc8 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install recent fedora-testing kernel mentiond version 2. see failure 3. process won't finish
Forgot to mention that initrd file was not created.
I'm getting same thing with the one that is in updates, not updates-testing.
The error is HAPPENING ON the initrd file creation. Run mkinitrd and you'll see the exact error.
This is caused by installing an incompatible glib2 package, it seems...
Downgrading from 2.15 glib2 to 2.14 fixed it for me. Unfortunately, new evolution requires 2.15
Any progress here?
Yeah... had the FC9 glib2 package (because of new Evince depending on gio), now having glib2-2.14.6-1.fc8. Which runs OK (even Evolution "from" comment #5).
