From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: With upgrade pack (7.1 to 7.2), booting from CD1 is OK. Been asked for language, keyboard, mouse and for partition migration to new filesystem. After a screen proposing the new GRUB multiboot system, it gives out a strange message: An unhandled exception has occured. This is most likely a bug. Please copy the full text of this exception...and send a bug report against anaconda to bugzilla !!! I tried many combinations, but all produced the SAME (bad) result! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot from upgrade pack CD1 2.Setup language (any), keyboard (tried with US, SG and GE) 3.Let automatic package selection (same with manual selection) 4.Migration to new filesystem: irrelevant 5.GRUB/LILO/No boot setup will be irrelevant 6.After begining to copy files, unhandled exception occurs Actual Results: Error message box (to save to floppy). After click on OK, CD is ejected and system restored to reboot. The error message begins like this (full text in attachement): 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 (self.runres, configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 778, in run mainloop () File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2608, in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() Expected Results: Should upgrade correctly! Additional info: Tried on 2 different hard disks (MAXTOR 1.8GB and WESTERN 2.1GB) with minimal Linux RH 7.1 workstation (both bootable and OK). Tried on 2 different HW, but both with AMD CPUs (250 and 450MHz). Both machines have different CD-drive models.

Is this the Upgrade Pack sold in Europe?
Yes, this package has been bought in Switzerland (28th of May 2002).
Florian can you assist in this issue, I am not familiar with the upgrade pack product.
This was a problem updating from i586 kernels AFAIK, but this issue must be handeled by support as this cannot be fixed via updates. greetings, Florian La Roche
