Created attachment 358581 [details] anaconda-logs.tgz Description of problem: I suspect this might not be anaconda's fault, perhaps booty (or dracut)? The grub.conf created does not contain an initrd-generic line. The installed system is unbootable. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * anaconda version 12.16 * kernel-2.6.31-0.167.rc6.git6.fc12.x86_64 How reproducible: * seems to be every rawhide install so far Steps to Reproduce: 1. Perform an installation of rawhide ... accepting all defaults The *exact* test case to discover this failure was https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/PartitioningExt3OnNativeDevice. However, I don't think that is specific ot the problem yet Actual results: sh-4.0# cat /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf ... title Fedora (2.6.31-0.167.rc6.git6.fc12.x86_64) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.167.rc6.git6.fc12.x86_64 ro root=UUID=9a561585-82e3-46a2-8415-033132c1b139 console=ttyS0 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYBOARDTYPE=pc KEYTABLE=us Expected results: Additional info: * attaching log files: -rw-r--r-- root/root 0 2009-08-25 11:06 tmp/anaconda-logs.tgz -rw-r--r-- root/root 53442 2009-08-25 11:00 tmp/anaconda.log -rw-r--r-- root/root 1271 2009-08-25 10:52 tmp/ks-pre.log -rw------- root/root 35 2009-08-25 10:51 tmp/ks-script-LJXAFF.log -rw-r--r-- root/root 9463 2009-08-25 11:00 tmp/program.log -rw-r--r-- root/root 96791 2009-08-25 11:00 tmp/storage.log -rw-r--r-- root/root 30601 2009-08-25 10:59 tmp/syslog -rwxr-xr-x root/root 860 2009-08-25 10:54 tmp/vncserver.log -rw-r--r-- root/root 68599 2009-08-25 10:52 tmp/yum.log -rw------- root/root 710 2009-08-25 11:00 mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf

This is fixed in anaconda-12.17-1, which is in rawhide now, closing.
Would this bug still be present in Fedora 12 alpha? I did an install just now (in a VM) of http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/test/12-Alpha/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-12-Alpha-x86_64-netinst.iso and grub.conf doesn't have an initrd line: # guestfish --ro -i /dev/vg_trick/F12Alphax64 Welcome to guestfish, the libguestfs filesystem interactive shell for editing virtual machine filesystems.

Ignore that, what I'm seeing seems to be bug 519350.
