Created attachment 357443 [details] Photo of traceback Description of problem: When I want to boot into rescue mode from Fedora 11 x86_64 DVD, I got python exception and had to reboot system. I think the source of problem could be I use LVM and crypted disks. How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot from DVD - Rescue mode 2. Chose the keyboard, enable/disable network, choose RW or RO mode - it is all irrelevant. 3. Enter passphrase for every disk. Actual results: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 729, in <module> rescue.runRescu(anaconda, instClass) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 315, in runRescu readOnly = readOnly) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1187, in mountExistingSystem fsset.parseFSTab(chroot=rootPath) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1520, in parseFSTab self.devicetree._addDeviceService) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devicetree.py", line 601, in _addDevice raise ValueError("device is already in tree") ValueError: device is already in tree install exited abnormally (1/1) disabling swap... unmounting filesystem... /mnt/runtime done disabling /dev/loop0 LOOP_CLR_FD failed: 16 /proc done /dev/pts done /sys done /selinux done /mnt/sysimage done sending termination signals... done sending kill signals... done You may safely reboot your system (rewritten from attached photo I took with my phone) Expected results: Boot into rescue mode
What does your /etc/fstab look like?
*** Bug 520135 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
A quick but dirty fix to this problem is to comment many useless lines in the /etc/fstab. I encountered similar problem with a fstab like this : /dev/sdb1 /media/foo vfat rw,user,noauto,owner,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/bar ntfs rw,user,noauto,owner,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 Even with 'noauto' option provided in the /etc/fstab, Anaconda looks for the device and fails if not found.
This will be fixed in the next build of anaconda. Thanks for the bug report.
After removing useless lines from the /etc/fstab it works! But I have one relative question. After booting into rescue mode, mounting installation, chrooting and rebooting computer, my installed fedora runs SELinux relabeling. (I did nothing with SELinux in rescue mode). It took me a lot of time. It is the normal behaviour?
