Description of problem: If you want to start liveinst in debugging mode to get some more informations, it fails with a backtrace: $ liveinst --debug FATAL: Module md not found. No volume groups found > /usr/sbin/anaconda(812)<module>() -> import instdata (Pdb) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 812, in <module> import instdata File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 812, in <module> import instdata File "/usr/lib/python2.5/bdb.py", line 48, in trace_dispatch return self.dispatch_line(frame) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/bdb.py", line 67, in dispatch_line if self.quitting: raise BdbQuit bdb.BdbQuit Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.4.0.54-1.i386 How reproducible: ever Steps to Reproduce: 1. liveinst --debug Actual results: backtrace Expected results: works
--debug to anaconda drops you into pdb early on. Due to how the live install process works, we end up with stdin redirected and so pdb isn't usable. Realistically --debug mode isn't that interesting for most cases and for the few that it is, it's easy enough to start anaconda by hand with the right args
