Exception is: AttributeError: 'Storage' does not have attribute 'migrateFormat' error is in line 94 of /usr/lib/anaconda/textw/upgrade_text.py: anaconda.id.storage.migrateFormat(entry, newfs) bash-3.2$ grep -r migrateFormat anaconda-13.21.82 anaconda-13.21.82/textw/upgrade_text.py: anaconda.id.storage.migrateFormat(entry, newfs) bash-3.2$ Result is that ext4migrate does not work in text mode.
As expected, the exception does not occur in GUI mode.
Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report. Thanks.
> Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report. I don't believe you need it, since line 94 of upgrade_text.py shows use of migrateFormat method which does not exist. However, I am happy to collect it, if you can tell me how to do so on a VMWare instance which has no floppy drive or USB devices. BTW, you can easily replicate this yourself, but installing RHEL5, then attempt to upgrade to RHEL6 using 'linux text ext4migrate' on the syslinux command line.

> http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_installation_problems I don't see that providing any information as to how I might copy an anaconda traceback file from the ramdisk onto somewhere where I can attach it to this bug report. I suppose you want me to type it in, even though, as I repeat, you do not need it, or can produce one yourself, by replicating the problem.

Since bug #712195 asks for the removal of ext4migrate option and was fixed in an earlier anaconda release and the patch from comment #8 is present in anaconda-13.21.125-1 I'm moving this bug to VERIFIED.
