From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0; Q312461; (R1 1.1)) Description of problem: The anaconda installer crashed with an exception when it was nearly 80% done with an upgrade from Red Hat Linux 7.1 to 7.2. The generated log file has been attached. Early during the upgrade, the installer reported that the RPM for time-1.7 was not found on the media. I was using an original retail Red Hat CD- ROM. I hit the <Esc> key to allow the installer to continue without upgrading time-1.7, and the upgrade continued without any problems until it crashed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Simply try to upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 using original retail Red Hat Linux 7.2 CD-ROM. In chose to: (1) upgrade, (2) change from LILO to GRUB, and (3) did not customize packages to be upgraded. Actual Results: The RPM for time-1.7 was not found, but it did exist on the CD- ROM. The installer proceeded past this problem, and much later on, it encountered a fatal exception and crashed. The system was only partially upgraded, and the boot sector still contained LILO instead of GRUB, but LILO no longer worked and displayed "LI". I was able to boot using a boot floppy, but many services failed at startup. Expected Results: A smooth upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 with GRUB replacing LILO. Additional info:

There was an error reading the CD, likely due to a bad CD. If this is a downloaded image, please verify the md5sum versus those published on our web site. If you have purchased an official copy of Red Hat Linux, please contact support.
