From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20021216 Description of problem: mknod doesn't work in the shell during the installer or during rescue mode because PYTHONPATH isn't being set. So when mknod looks for the isys module which is in /usr/lib/anaconda it isn't found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot disc1 cd 2. Type linux rescue at the boot: prompt 3. Skip mount 4. mknod /tmp/hde1 b 33 1 Actual Results: Traceback about inability to import the module isys Expected Results: It to make /tmp/hde1 Additional info:
isys is actually in /mny/runtime/usr/lib/anaconda I tried export PYTHONPATH=/mnt/runtime/usr/lib/anaconda in the shell during the install and it made mknod work.
Noticed this when I was testing something before I left for the holidays, so it's already fixed in CVS
