I enter the url to the images and shortly there after I get an exception.

  rc = lvmExec("vgscan", "-v")
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/upgrade.py", line 169 in findExistingRoots
  rootparts = anaconda.id.diskset.findExistingRootPartitions(upgradeany = upgradeany)
... 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

It looks like it wants me to type in a URL, filename, userid, and password to
save the traceback somewhere. Is there a way to use this feature to save the
traceback to this bug report?

I was able to load Fedora 9 by loading Fedora 8 and then using something called
PreUpgrade to move to Fedora 9. So if no one else is having a problem maybe we
can close this ticket.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2008-06-13 18:35:33 UTC
Glad you were able to use preupgrade to upgrade your system.  I'll close this
bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA for now since we don't have the exception log to track
down the problem.

Right now the save exception dialog only supports saving to floppy/usb keys and
scp which isn't really helpful for a lot of people.  I'm hoping to have some
advanced capabilities here in the near future to make it more useful for more
people.  Thanks for the bug report.
