I tried the last Live-DVD (2008-04-04) for x86_64. Liveinst didn't start with french locales. I had to execute the following command to make it work : [fedora@localhost ~]$ LANG=C liveinst --lang=fr_FR FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Probing for video card: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT 15:06:02 Starting graphical installation... Without the definition of the locale (LANG=...), liveinst starts then crashes before showing the first step of the installer. Examples : --- $ LANG=fr_FR.utf8 liveinst FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 869, in <module> probeHW(opts, x_already_set, xserver) File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 456, in probeHW xserver.probeHW(forceDriver=opts.xdriver) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xserver.py", line 91, in probeHW cardstr = _("Probing for video card: %s") % (cardstr,) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) -- $ liveinst --lang=fr_FR FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 869, in <module> probeHW(opts, x_already_set, xserver) File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 456, in probeHW xserver.probeHW(forceDriver=opts.xdriver) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xserver.py", line 91, in probeHW cardstr = _("Probing for video card: %s") % (cardstr,) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) -- $ LANG=C liveinst --lang=fr_FR FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Probing for video card: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT 15:06:02 Starting graphical installation... Thanks to Eddahbi Karim for submitting the problem.
In fact it fails with every non English languages. I could not start liveinst with Deutsch language for example.
Fixed in git. (Note: bugs in liveinst should be filed against anaconda)
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fixed since rhpxl 1.3. Latest in F9 is rhpxl 1.9.
