Description Jason Tibbitts 2002-04-08 22:11:41 UTC
Anaconda crashes on upgrade of existing system while it is parsing the existing
/etc/fstab to mount the various partitions.

I will attach the complete saved bug info, but here are some useful excerpts:

Traceback (innermost last):

The complete fstab:
