Description of Problem: With the Milan-re0819.nightly tree, I'm getting hangs after the installation of the bash package. A couple of people have reported this on limbo-list as well. One tester even pinned this down to deselecting and selecting again the audiofile package (the next package to be installed after bash.) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Expected Results: Additional Information:
I had a problem with the installation of Limbo Beta 2 (7.2.93) that sounds similar though not sure if related. In my case the installation stopped after the gnome-mime-data package. Everything seemed fine but there was no disk access for well in excess of 15 minutes. Tried the installation 3 times to no avail. The installation was to a set of SCSI disks on a RAID controller. 1 logical drive made up of 3 4GB disks in a RAID 5 configuration. Media check on the CD turned up fine, the RAID controller did not report any errors, reformatted the logical drive checking for bad blocks, nothing found, and I'm not really sure what the problem was. I ended up creating a new logical drive out of different disks and the installation worked fine.
I think that the deselecting and selecting audiofile is just a red herring, fwiw. Since you weren't reliably reproducing it this afternoon, he could have just gotten lucky on the "it worked this time" bit
I'm the one where it worked after deselecting and reselecting audiofile and it worked. I agree it must have been something else. I was able to consistently reproduce the problem on another machine. Bash install finishes and the system just stops. Audiofile seems like it's next but never starts installing. I'm not sure why it worked for me eventually on the one system, other than just pure luck. It does this consistently after selecting a Personal Workstation or a Custom install - I have not tried with the other configurations. In once case, I was installing to 3 partitions (/boot, swap and /) and in the other case where it did finally work, I have /boot, swap, /, and then /opt, /home, /usr and /usr/local in an extended partition.

I've had the same problem. I tried the Personal Desktop twice and then tried Custom - Everything. It always hanged after bash. Then I tried the text installer and everything went smoothly...

Question: are all of these installs from cdrom? I have done a number of nfs installs and seen nothing like this.
I have this occur when I do a kickstart install. My langsupport line has several languages listed, if I change it so that it has on ly en_US, it works just fine. I will attach my failing kickstart file
Created attachment 71944 [details] to make this kickstart file fail, just uncomment the longer langsupport line and comment out the shorter one.
ps ax during the hang shows that the file /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.### is running. This looks like the %post script for the bash package. If you kill this script, the install continues to the next package that has a %post, and it, too, hangs. Same thing, kill it and it continues. If you "chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/sh" into the installed system and run the hanging shell script, it runs just fine. -- Michael
Current theory is that it's due to the locale archive support in glibc (backtrace in gdb definitely implies a case that Jakub fixed earlier in the week). Building a tree with a fixed glibc now
And with the glibc fix in, it appears to be fixed... waiting on fixed glibc to go into the tree to close this
I had the same problem. Using the text installer made no difference. I did not have the problem on Limbo. When I omitted the additional languages English(GB) French(France) German(Germany) Spanish(Spain) and just went with English(USA) the installation proceeded OK.

I seeing this too, it hangs directly after the bash install My info: Version: null Install type: CDROM Locales chosen: English (US) and Danish. English being standard im using 2 partitions both on the same IDE device (one 2.5 for / and 256 for swap) is there a known workaround, so that I may actually install the beta ? should i try to select only the english locale (i read the comments as that may be the culprint)
Fixed with new glibc package
CLOSED->RAWHIDE I'm not seeing this. Please reopen if this occurs with the next release.
