Description Alexander Todorov 2008-04-17 08:57:40 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installer exits in loader (I think).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-10.1.1.85-1
TREE: RHEL4-U7-re20080416.0a

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the installer (I'm using kickstart file)
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
Installer exits

Expected results:
Installer proceeds to stage2 and the install completes

Additional info:
On the console I see:
install exited abnormally -- received signal 11  

then it unmounts file systems and is ready to be shut off or rebooted.
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2008-04-17 09:54:44 UTC 
What's the last thing you see on tty3?
Comment 3 Alexander Todorov 2008-04-17 10:53:38 UTC 
Created attachment 302734 [details]
tty3 / xen pv guest

on tty1 I noticed: 
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid pointer: 0x0000007fbfffac60 ***
install exited abnormally -- received signal 6

^^^ this is different from the original (on bare metal) which said received
signal 11

Assuming your two segfaults are the same thing and not two completely different
problems, we have a one line fix in hand:

Ignore the horrible formatting there, but you see what's going on.
Comment 6 Alexander Todorov 2008-04-17 14:53:30 UTC 
Chris,
if you provide an updates.img I can test it tomorrow morning.
Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2008-04-17 15:00:23 UTC 
Updates images don't work for testing problems in the loader, which is what this is.
