From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: 'less' segmentation faults under linux rescue mode (even w/o any arguments). This is probably less an error about 'less' than about the rescue mode Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start linux rescue mode from CD 2. In the tty1 shell, type 3. less Actual Results: Segmentation fault Expected Results: File contents should show up Additional info: 'less' segmentation faults under linux rescue mode (even w/o any arguments) Here is some information from strace and the debugger. More can be delivered on request. The last messages from strace before the fault: strace: close(3) = 0 brk(0) = 0x805efb4 brk(0x805efe4) = 0x805efe4 brk(0x805f000) = 0x805f000 GDB says: SIGSEGV in 0x0805a002 in _IO_stdin_used() 0x08048e5a in _init() 0x400690af in __libc_start_main()from /lib/libc.so.6 instructions: 0x805a000 jae 0x805a06a <_IO_stdin_used+13222> 0x805a002 gs 0x805a003 insb (%dx),%es:(%edi) This is probably not going to help much, so as I said -- ask for more info if you want to.
doesn't seem to be a problem in less. changed component to anaconda
I haven't had this problem - if you look on VC3 and VC4 do you see any read errors? If you were running rescue mode from a CD I would hazard to guess the CD is bad.
Closing due to inactivty, please reopen if you have additional information to add.
