Tried to upgrade an existing RH 6.1 installation up to RH 6.1.92 without a success. Host has Adaptec 78xx controller with 4 SCSI disks, one DAT drive and one SCSI CD-ROM drive. /dev/sda is the boot disk and the rest of the disks sdb/sdc/sdd are configured as a software RAID 5 volume. Installation was originally done with GUI installation of RH 6.1. boot.img disk boots fine, selected 'Upgrade...', installer loaded aha78xx modules and started searching installed packages and then crashed with an anaconda/pyhton error window. It looks like software RAID upgrade doesn't work. Regards, Jussi, jt
How many RAID partitions did you have? I am betting that you had more than one and that is the problem. If that is the case, it is a known problem and we are working on it.
Partitions are: # df Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 1929068 727160 1103916 40% / /dev/md0 5818752 1110436 4412740 20% /home # fdisk /dev/sda Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 261 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 244 1959898+ 83 Linux /dev/sda2 245 261 136552+ 5 Extended /dev/sda5 245 261 136521 82 Linux swap Software RAID configured as: # cat /etc/raidtab raiddev /dev/md0 raid-level 0 nr-raid-disks 3 chunk-size 64k persistent-superblock 1 #nr-spare-disks 0 device /dev/sdb5 raid-disk 0 device /dev/sdd5 raid-disk 1 device /dev/sdc5 raid-disk 2 SCSI devices connected are: # cat /proc/scsi/scsi Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: CONNER Model: CFP2105S 2.14GB Rev: 2D4D Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 01 Lun: 00 Vendor: SEAGATE Model: ST32430N Rev: 0510 Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 02 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DCAS-32160 Rev: S65A Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 03 Lun: 00 Vendor: IBM Model: DCAS-32160 Rev: S65A Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 04 Lun: 00 Vendor: HP Model: C1533A Rev: 9406 Type: Sequential-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 06 Lun: 00 Vendor: MATSHITA Model: CD-ROM CR-504 Rev: ST23 Type: CD-ROM ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Regards, Jussi, jt
This was the result of a signed/unsigned error in the code and is now fixed and will appear in the next cut of the beta that we make available. Basically the RAID partition was too big and was causing strange things to happen (overflow of a signed number that is!)

this behavior has been duplicated using a random scsi card & drives (test166)
Bug 10381 is not actually a duplicate of this bug. This bug is fixed.
