anaconda error dump
Have same problem when updating from Fedora test3 on one machine. Having ~2.5 GB of free disc space, the same fails appeared couple time. Not possible to proceed. On other machine works without problem. Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' help at all? Yes, allowcddma gets me past the point where failure occurred before, and installation now appears to be proceeding normally. Also, the shell is now available and functioning on tty2.

Description of problem: Upgrading a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop from Red Hat 9. About 70% of the way through the transfer of the system image from the CD to my hard disk, I get an error message to the effect that the copy could not be completed and that I am "probably out of disk space." Since I know that I have at least 700MB on the / partition (more than the size of the iso image), I dismiss the error and try clicking next to begin the upgrade again. This is where the exception occurs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. select upgrade 2. select update boot loader 3. click begin upgrade 4. error message "probably out of disk space" during transfer of system image to disk, click ok to dismiss 5. click next to begin upgrade again Actual Results: crash Expected Results: I would expect a message about how much disk space is needed and how much is available if a full disk is indeed the problem. Also, the "next" button should be disabled if an error has occurred and it is not really possible to continue Additional info: There is a message on virtual console 2: "-/bin/sh: relocation error: -/bin/sh: symbol version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference" If I drop into the python debug shell after the exception and try to exec anything in a shell with a command like: os.system("ls") I get the same error. If I boot from the cd in recovery mode, I do not get shell errors. The traceback says: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 669, in doPreInstall f = open(instPath + "/etc/mtab", "w+") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/sysimage/etc/mtab' There is a comment in the source at that line about problems with old mtabs.
