From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Description of problem: I'm having various anaconda problems so I downloaded the update-disk- 20001009.img file and created a disk using this image file. I then ran "linux updates text" from the boot prompt booting from disk. It prompts me to insert the update disk and when it starts running anaconda it crashes with two errors. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Download update-disk-20001009.img 2.Create an update disk the same way as a boot disk (run rawrite and enter the image location, etc .... ) 3.Boot linux from disk and at boot prompt type "linux updates text" 4.When told to put in the updates disk put in the disk you created in steps 1 and 2. 5.This disk will start running anaconda and then crash the system Actual Results: ERRORS: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 517, in? extraModules = extraModules) File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 344, in__init__log.open (serial, reconfigOnly, test) TypeError: not enough arguments; expected 5, got 4 install exited abnormally sending termination signals...done sending kill signal...done disabling swap... unmounting filesystems... /mnt/runtime /mnt/source umount failed () /dev/pts/proc you may safely reboot your system Expected Results: I should have been able to move on with installation but it sends a termination signal and halts everything. Additional info: I tried new disks, downloading the file a few times etc.. Still the same error. I found some anaconda image fix links on your ftp page but all the permissions to the links have been blocked so I can't download and try anything. I think there was something in a fisher folder but I can't download any of it, not sure why.
Errr...the update-disk-20001009.img file is an errata release for 7.0, so trying to use it with 7.1 (which is what this bug report lists as the version you are using) is not going to work. There hasn't been an anaconda errata for Red Hat Linux 7.1. I don't understand what you're trying to do. A better explaination of the anaconda problems you were having before trying the update disk would be helpful.
These are the anaconda problems I was having before trying the update disk (Red Hat 7.1): Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__ if todo.doInstall (): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1547, in doInstall self.instCallback, p) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1298, in instCallback self.rpmFD = os.open(fn, os.O_RDONLY) OS Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/setup- 2.3.4-1.noarch.rpm' Local variables in innermost frame: fn: /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/setup-2.3.4-1.noarch.rpm total: 0 self: <todo.ToDo instance at 8221508> h: <header object at 88252b0> amount: 0 intf: <text.InstallProgressWindow instance at 8e93e70> what: 2 ToDo object:(itodoToDop1(dp2S'method'p3(iimageCdromInstallMethodp4 (dp5S'progressWindow'p6 <failed>
Ok, the installer is unable to read some of the packages from the cd. This usually means that the cdrom media is damaged somehow. When the install crashes, try pressing <Ctrl><Alt><F4> and see if there are any error messages there related to the cdrom drive.
Ok there were error messages about the cdrom. I put a different cdrom in and had no problems loading. No need to respond to this comment. Thankx
Ok. Thanks for your report.
