From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-31enterprise i686) Description of problem: The installer shows a message that it has detected an error, probably an anaconda bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. go into text mode installation 2. follow the installation for advanced server with all languages chosen or Dutch(NL) and English(USA) 3. use automatic partitioning Actual Results: Get a crashdump Expected Results: A package list should appear Additional info: The installation is tried on an IBM 2133-571 with a intel 80486DX 33 MHz processor, 64MB internal memory and 4GB harddisk. A crashdump can be send, but is to big to copy here without errors.
Created attachment 47240 [details] The crashdumpfile from anaconda
Please, ignore the remark about not being able to add the crashdump.
Tried to do an Custom Install and got the same crashdump.
I have the same problem: My set up: pentium 133, 128 MB RAM, Packard Bell D135 (hillary mainboard), 8.4 gig Western Digital drive, "NEC CDROM:282". Booted with floppy, 1st cd in cdrom drive on local machine. On the first attempt I pressed enter at the "boot:" prompt for the default install mode, using English as the installation language, selected a custom install, and partitioned my disk manually with disk druid. On the second attempt I entered text at the "boot:" prompt and proceeded as before. On the last attempt I went with a default install method, the default system (vs. a custom system) and autopartitioned. On all three occasions it failed in the same spot, but the text install shows the installer is loading packages when it fails and graphical mode appears mor abrupt. The file on the floppy created after this crash crash is called anacdump.txt and begins: (excerpts typed by hand...) Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 620, in ? intf.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py" line 350, in run self.icw.run(id, dispatch, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py" line 782, in run mainloop () File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2608, in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 125, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) **etc,until: KeyError: kernel Local variables in innermost frame: self: (comps.HeaderListFromFile instance at 84ebf20) item: kernel Individual package selection status: 4suite: 0, Canna: 0, Canna-devel: 0 **etc, etc ----------- Immediately after this occurered I successfully installed Seawolf on this machine without any obvious problems.
For your information: Enigma (RH 7.2) works fine without X-Windows on the IBM PS/1 model 2133-571
This is because the kernel is being built without an i586 or an i386 variant and thus it can't find a kernel that will work on your system. Reassigning to kernel
The Advanced Server release is intended for only i686 and above processors, so this isn't a bug. Closing out.
