From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-2smp i686; Nav) Description of problem: I have a MO drive, and the MO was not installed. The normal device for the MO is /dev/sdd (4th scsi). All prior installations ignored this "non -existant" drive. During installation, after package selection, I get the popup error message: Error: /tmp/sdd No Medium Found [cancel] [retry] and on console 1, I see teh error message: Error opening /tmp/sdd: No medium found 80 Note that I did not specify any partition on /dev/sdd for installation. It should not have been concerning itself whether it could open the device or not. Since the device is a removeable drive, it especially should not care... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. configure a scsi chain w/ a removeable device. (possibly a scsi zip drive would give this error as well) 2. do installation. 3. Error shows up shortly after package selection, and before 1st package gets installed. Actual Results: unnecessary error message box. I clicked cancel, and installation progressed. (note that clicking <cancel> is not obvious in as much as you really do not want to cancel the installation. Perhaps the button should hev been [ignore] - be that as it may, the error message really should not be displayed, esp when the device is a removeable. Expected Results: no message box. Additional info: did not used to happen in any prior beta, or any prior RH installer.
Please run this on Alt+F2: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda python -c "import isys; isys.driveIsRemovable('sdd')"
at which point of the installation is the above python string runnable. (hopefully before installation starts ? I'm not desireing to reinstall, just at the moment, but I can if need be...)
as soon as you get to anaconda in either text or gui mode, you don't need to reinstall. Oh, and run this instead: PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/anaconda python -c "import isys; print isys.driveIsRemovable('sdd')" (note the addition of 'print')
Attribute Error: driveIsRemoveable
s/driveIsRemoveable/driveIsRemovable/ (you have an extra 'e')
We (Red Hat) should really try to fix this before next release.
The python print statements prints the following: 1
bug found; fixed in cvs.
