From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; sbcydsl 3.12; YComp 5.0.0.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: Bug happened both ways I tried to upgrade. First time I left my Red Hat 8 partitions alone, hoping for a simple upgrade. The second time, I had Disk Druid re-partition my secondary disk as Linux just like I did in installing ver8 so that ver9 would be a clean install. Same result as the first time. Install would hang and not give any additional text mode queries for me to answwer. After an hour, I hit F12, only to be given the following bug info to report to you: Traceback (most recent call list): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 739, in ? intf.run(id,dispatch,configFileData) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 438, in run rc=apply(win,(self.screen)+args) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install RH, ver 9 2. I took all normal setup steps. 3. Expected Results: Install continues Additional info:
Adding to the initial past comments I inadvertently left off a few lines from your bug notification: Please add: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/testw/timezone_test.py", line 89, in __call__ self.1.setCurrent(default) File "/usr/lib/python2 2/site packages.snack.py",
Which language did you install using?
Michael, I used US English language. David
Michael, Any ideas yet? - David Durbin
Can you attach the full anacdump.txt that's provided when you hit the problem?
I only found anaconda_release_notes.txt with the following code cd / find . -name ana*.txt -print Even if I had it I could not send it to you. Your version 8 did not connect to my SBC DSL account with DHCP. (SBC does not support Linux so they were of no help.) I checked your RH9 hardware configuration fike and bought a recommended ethernet card. Did not work for RH8, so the last item was to upgrade to RH9. - David
When the traceback error occurs there should be an option to save the entire crash dump to floppy. Could you please append the contents of the file 'anacdump.txt' on the floppy to this report?
