Complete debug dump from Anaconda.
Weird, but I see from your other bug report that the md5sums match. This is very strange. The installer is looking for a file on the cd, but it can't find it. This is almost always indicative of a bad cd, but there must be another problem in your case since the md5sums match. I must admit that I'm stumped. If you can try starting the graphical installer again (you don't have to do an install, just boot up into the installer) and press <Ctrl><Alt><F2>. Then type "ls -l /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/map480.png" What does the output of that command look like? Is the file even there? Output: -r-xr-xr-x 1 root 0 134252 Jan 1 1970 /usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/map480.png Any thoughts?? Is there more to the traceback? Usually the values of variables is included. All I have is the dump file that Anaconda produced (attached earlier). Here's an idea...it might not make a difference, but it's worth a try. It looks like the kernel is having trouble reading from the cdrom drive. It looks like the cdrom is on the primary IDE controller as the slave device. Try switching the cdrom drive to being the master device on the secondary IDE controller. Does that help? If that doesn't work, try booting the installer with 'linux ide=nodma'. Does that help? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.2914) Description of problem: This error was encountered after selecting locales. The next stage would be selecting the time zone (hence the 'map view'). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: NOTE: Only occurs in graphical installation mode. Text mode works fine. 1. Boot from installation CD. Press ENTER for default graphical install. 2. Proceed through configuration. 3. Time zone selection crashes with an error report. Actual Results: Installer fails. Expected Results: Should have produced a nice world maps with pretty dots on it so that you can select your time zone.
