Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with CD1 in drive 2. Attempt an install or update 3. Bingo Expected Results: Successfull installation of RedHat 7.2 operating system Additional info: The anacdump file that was created will be attached.
Created attachment 48744 [details] Anaconda traceback dump associated with this bug report
This doesn't appear to be the whole dump as there should also be some syslog information attached... was there anymore information in the dump?
No, that was everything that got put on the floppy. Should I nuke the linux partition and try it again as a full install?
The only times I've seen this have been on installations where a package install failed. The full dump would have included to let me know what failed. I'm guessing if you try again, it won't happen again. We've added some more callbacks to RPM to pass up to anaconda when these happen. If you want to try again, feel free... otherwise, I'm going to just mark this closed RAWHIDE as the new rpm callbacks should catch the real problem in the future.
