Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda 11 that comes with Fedora 9 Previous Release How reproducible: Every Time I try to install Steps to Reproduce: 1. I am attempting to install Fedora 9 Preview Release onto a Toshiba Satellite 2655xdvd/6.0 notebook. It is a celeron 366 w/ 192 megs of ram, 40G disk, and DVD-rom drive. I am using the Fedora 9 preview release bootable dvd image for i386. I boot off of the CD and select to install or upgrade an existing system. It then boots as normal, I select language and keyboard. It starts anaconda, and says "You do not have enough ram to start the graphical installer. Starting text mode Installation" The system only has 2 megabytes of video ram but I can run X in 1024x768x16bpp just fine. Anyway, then I continue on and select to upgrade the existing system which is Fedora 8.93 (/dev/sda3). sda1 is /boot, and /dev/sda2 is a 1 gigabyte swap partition. 2. Then the installer continues on to "Transferring image to hard drive" and "checking dependencies in packages selected for installation" and then the error message comes up on the screen "There was an error running your transaction for the following reason: float division" see photo at http://www.squeezer.net/fedora9/IMG_0415.JPG 3. So I hit back and it says "starting an install process. This may take several minutes..." and then I get the error "Your file systems have already been activated. You cannot go back past this point. Would you like to continue with the installation?" see photo http://www.squeezer.net/fedora9/IMG_0416.JPG so I hit Continue, and then the installer runs for another few seconds and I'm back at "There was an error running your transaction for the following reason: float division" see photo http://www.squeezer.net/fedora9/IMG_0417.JPG Actual results: There was an error running your transaction for the following reason: float division Expected results: Anaconda to install Fedora 9 Preview release as normal. Fedora 8 installed fine on this system, and I upgraded fine from Fedora 8 to Fedora 8.93 with yum -y upgrade --enablerepo=development Additional info:

Could you add updates=http://people.redhat.com/clumens/443243.img to your boot argument and try again? Adding this will result in a traceback. I could use the exception dump from that traceback. What's going on here is that our error handling is just catching all exceptions instead of being more specific so I can't tell exactly where the float division error is coming from. Thanks.
