Description of problem: I installed Fedora 9 preview and booted in rescue mode to change grub.conf. I answered yes to start network but it fails and reboot is the only option. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot in rescue mode with Fedora 9 preview 2. Answer yes to start network 3. Actual results: Rescue mode aborts Expected results: Network is started and rescue mode continues Additional info: This is done on an IBM Thinkpad Z60m
How did it fail?
Sorry for the incomplete info and late reply. Here goes: Anaconda stops instantly after selecting yes to start network. This is the output: ../textw/network_text.py 615 dev = self.chooseNetworkDevice(screen) ../textw/network_text.py 511 UnicodeDecodeError='ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 4: ordinal not in range (128) And also, I selected norwegian language and keyboard before the network selection.
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
I can't reproduce this with Fedora 9 and I believe that this would have had the same root cause as bug 443040. Are you still seeing this with Fedora 9 final?
