Created attachment 358841 [details] anacdump.txt Description of problem: When using anaconda to install locally under some directory I get: anaconda None exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/network.py", line 590, in write if rootdev.dependsOn(d) and isinstance(d, File "/usr/lib/anaconda/yuminstall.py", line 1467, in doPreInstall anaconda.id.network.write(instPath=anaconda.rootPath, anaconda=anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/backend.py", line 282, in doPreInstall anaconda.backend.doPreInstall(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 205, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 128, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 712, in run anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 965, in <module> anaconda.intf.run(anaconda) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'dependsOn' Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-11.5.0.59-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. anaconda --text --rootpath=/mnt/nbdroot --method=http://fedora.nano-box.net/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/os/ 2. where /mnt/nbdroot is empty, 5GB loopback mounted ext3 image which will serve as NBD root. 3. Actual results: text mode starts, asks for some options and successfully retrieves package metadata. At the end of the progress bar when calculating dependencies the traceback happens. Expected results: Additional info: anacdump.txt is attached.
I think I determined the cause of this problem. In the rootDevice property of the FSSet object, we were not taking in to account the possibility of rootpath be overridden on the command line. I have prepared a tar+gz file containing updates as well as an updates.img file, both for F-11. Both contain the same fixes, but I'm not sure which will be easiest for you to try. If you want to use updates.tar.gz, just unpack it in /usr/lib/anaconda on the system where you will be running the anaconda command from your opening comment. If you want to use updates.img, just pass it to anaconda in any of the standard methods you would pass an updates image to anaconda. If you could try the installation again in the same manner as you initially tried, but using the updates attached to this bug, I would like to know if the issue is solved or not.

Unpacking the tar.gz file in /usr/lib/anaconda and running the command from comment #0 gives: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 549, in <module> from exception import handleException File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 41, in <module> import kickstart File "/usr/lib/anaconda/kickstart.py", line 21, in <module> from storage.deviceaction import * File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1293, in <module> class FSSet(object): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1767, in FSSet def mkDevRoot(self, instPath=self.anaconda.rootPath): NameError: name 'self' is not defined instPath=self.anaconda.rootPath is causing the traceback.

Created attachment 359020 [details] anacdump.2 I still get the same (I think) traceback even with patched anaconda.
Tested against rawhide but hit bug #520061
Patch for this issue will be in anaconda-12.20-1. Moving to MODIFIED. When you can test and verify, please move it to CLOSED RAWHIDE. Will take a look at bug #520061.
Now I hit bug #521661.
