From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: During an attempted installation of 8.0 over 7.3, any action (reformat drives, create swapfile, custom package selection, make bootdisk) would elicit a crash. Skipping these would would cause for no packages would be detected for upgrade, upgrade would finish without any thing being done. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start NFS install 2.Attempt any form of upgrade 3.Follow menu instructions. Actual Results: Crash or nothing. Expected Results: Install of 8.0 over 7.3 Additional info: I am running an AMD k6/2 450, connected via 10BaseT to Pentium 133 server holding iso images of 8.0. I built the machine to 7.3 using this, and wanted to upgrade instead of wasting all the time with a full install.
I double checked my MD5SUMS, and ran --warn, I found that the MD5SUM was not liked by md5sum, but the isos checked out "OK". I still am thinking that this is a bug, but I have not heard of others having this problem.
What was the crash given? Also, if you boot with 'linux mediacheck' and do a mediacheck following the instructions at http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html, do the isos check out okay? (mediacheck works reliably for NFS iso as well as CD baesd installs)
I ran mediacheck, which ran a second checksum of the iso images I have, and they passed, and I attempted to rerun an upgrade from 7.3 to 8.0. the installer, offered to upgrade my previous installation to ext3, which is pretty silly, as I am currently running ext3 on both /boot and /, not ext2. Then I went into a custom installation, and anaconda crashed trying to detect my packages. I was able to capture the crash report: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 635, in nextClicked self.setScreen () File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 834, in setScreen new_screen = apply(self.currentWindow.getScreen, args) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/package_gui.py", line 345, in getScreen self.flat_groups = self.make_group_list(hdList, comps) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/package_gui.py", line 237, in make_group_list if not comps["Core"].includesPackage(header) or displayBase: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 580, in __getitem__ return self.compsDict[key] KeyError: Core Local variables in innermost frame: Package Group selection status: Maximum RPM: 0 Official Red Hat Linux Customization Guide: 0 Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide: 0 Official Red Hat Linux Reference Guide: 0 Official Red Hat Linux Security Guide: 0 Official Red Hat Linux x86 Installation Guide: 0 Everything: 0 Individual package selection status: maximum-rpm: 0, rhl-cg-en: 0, rhl-gsg-en: 0, rhl-ig-x86-en: 0, rhl-rg-en: 0, rhl-sg-en: 0, Dispatcher instance, containing members: method: NfsIsoInstallMethod instance, containing members: discImages: {1: psyche-docs.iso, 2: psyche-i386-disc2.iso, 3: psyche-i386-disc3.iso, 4: psyche-i386-disc4.iso, 5: psyche-i386-disc5.iso} isoPath: mnt/source mntPoint: /tmp/isomedia/ tree: /tmp/isomedia/ rootPath: /mnt/sysimage imageMounted: 1 step: 39 intf: InstallInterface instance, containing members: icw: InstallControlWindow instance, containing members: displayHelp: 1 stockButtons: (('gtk-go-back', 'prevButtonStock', '_Back', <bound method InstallControlWindow.prevClicked of <gui.InstallControlWindow instance at 0x85f19fc>>), ('gtk-go-forward', 'nextButtonStock', '_Next', <bound method InstallControlWindow.nextClicked of <gui.InstallControlWindow instance at 0x85f19fc>>), ('gtk-new', 'releaseButton', '_Release Notes', <bound method InstallControlWindow.releaseClicked of <gui.InstallControlWindow instance at 0x85f19fc>>), ('gtk-help', 'showHelpButton', 'Show _Help', <bound method InstallControlWindow.helpClicked of <gui.InstallControlWindow instance at 0x85f19fc>>), ('gtk-help', 'hideHelpButton', 'Hide _Help', <bound method InstallControlWindow.helpClicked of <gui.InstallControlWindow instance at 0x85f19fc>>), ('gtk-execute', 'debugButton', '_Debug', <bound method InstallControlWindow.debugClicked of <gui.InstallControlWindow instance at 0x85f19fc>>)) handle: 91 help: <TextViewBrowser object (GtkTextView) at 0x85f1b1c> buttonBox: <gtk.HButtonBox object (GtkHButtonBox) at 0x852a2c4> hideHelpButton: <gtk.Button object (GtkButton) at 0x8687104> nextButtonStock: <gtk.Button object (GtkButton) at 0x84b74a4> help_sw: <gtk.ScrolledWindow object (GtkScrolledWindow) at 0x8699854> dir: 1 dispatch: Already dumped reloadRcQueued: 0 ii: Already dumped currentWindow: IndividualPackageSelectionWindow instance, containing members: updatingIcons: 0 comps: Exception occurred during state dump: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 140, in dumpException dumpClass(dispatch, out) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 80, in dumpClass dumpClass(value, fd, level + 1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 80, in dumpClass dumpClass(value, fd, level + 1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 80, in dumpClass dumpClass(value, fd, level + 1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 80, in dumpClass dumpClass(value, fd, level + 1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/exception.py", line 42, in dumpClass fd.write("%s\n" % (instance,)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/comps.py", line 820, in __repr__ for package in n: TypeError: iteration over non-sequence /tmp/syslog: <4>Linux version 2.4.18-14BOOT (bhcompile.redhat.com) (gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)) #1 Wed Sep 4 11:55:51 EDT 2002 <6>BIOS-provided physical RAM map: <4> BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 -

The same thing happened to me today. I downloaded the ISO files. I mounted them and used tar to transfer the contents of discs 1, 2 and 3 and the documentation disc to a directory on an NFS server. I then proceeded to do an NFS install. The installer didn't ask me to convert my disk partitions the way Rob's installer did, but the rest is the same. I chose an upgrade install, asked to customize package selections, told it to update the boot loader, and then anaconda crashed. The traceback is identical to the one Rob posted. I can attach my anacdump.txt file if you think it will help.
Created attachment 79424 [details] The dump file Anaconda generated when my RH8.0 install crashed
Does it work if you move the docs cd into a different directory (even just a subdirectory of the directory the other ISO images are in)?
I didn't install from the ISO images. I copied the contents of those CDs (the RedHat directories and some of the top-level readme files). I will try again, leaving out the documentation CD, however. I'll let you know if that works. If it fails, I'll also try using the .iso files.
OK. This time, when I prepared my NFS directory to install from, I copied in the entire contents of discs 1-3. I copied the contents of the documentation to a different location. Then I deleted the TRANS.TBL files (which should only be needed on CD media), the SRPMS directory, the isolinux directory and the autorun file. This should be OK - according to the docs, only the RedHat directory is required, and it is left unaltered, except for the deleted TRANS.TBL files. This time, I left all the root-level README and RELEASE-NOTES files intact. Previously, I deleted all of the foreign-language versions of these, although I wouldn't expect this to be the cause of the problem. It appears to be working now. I't installing packages. If I don't submit any additional comments, you can assume that the installation completed successfully.
The installation did complete successfully. So it appears that (in my case), the problem was caused by one (or both) of twothings: - Copying the contents of the documentation CD to the same place as the installer CDs - Deleting some root-level files (READMEs and RELEASE-NOTES) In conjunction with an NFS install.
I tried out moving the docs iso to a new subdirectory, and everything worked out great! Thanks for your help. Rob
