Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #1) > Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report. Thanks. 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.
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.
