Insert updates.img disk when prompted. 5. Receive anaconda traceback. Actual Results: ... Running anaconda - please wait... Probing for video card: S3 Trio64 (generic) Probing for monitor type: Dell V15X Probing for mouse type: None - None Waiting for X server to start...log located in /tmp/X.log ...X SERVER FAILED X startup failed, falling back to text mode Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 540, in ? instClass.setKeyboard(id, keymap) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/installclass.py", line 195, in setKeyboard apply(id.xconfig.setKeyboard, xkb) AttributeError: 'None' object has no attribute 'setKeyboard' install exited abnormally Expected Results: Not crashing.
