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

What does your /etc/fstab look like?

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.

Comment 7 Izidor Matušov 2009-09-07 11:39:31 UTC
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?
