What does: ls -l /dev/live* /dev/mapper/live* show? Created attachment 397209 [details]
screenshot showing output of "ls -l /dev/live* /dev/mapper/live*" before and after reproducing the bug
(In reply to comment #8) > Created an attachment (id=397209) [details] > screenshot showing output of "ls -l /dev/live* /dev/mapper/live*" Black-and-white version ... :-) [liveuser@localhost ~]$ ls -L /dev/live* /dev/mapper/live* ls: cannot access /dev/mapper/live-osimg-min: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /dev/mapper/live-rw: No such file or directory /dev/live Yeah that's the problem. I wonder what's happening with your ../dm-* symlinks. (In reply to comment #10) > Yeah that's the problem. I wonder what's happening with your ../dm-* symlinks. Can you reproduce it? No objections to resolving this for Fedora 13. I'm adding F13Blocker so this is on the radar. The impact, as I understand it, is that repeated attempts to run liveinst from a live image may fail as some cleanup/setup work was not properly handled by liveinst or anaconda. Here's the fix for this: http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/anaconda.git?p=anaconda.git;a=commitdiff;h=7a57848512333239672abe104bb3942821daddc0 It ends up it would only be triggered by exiting on the filter screen. Thanks, Brian. James: A work-around is to restart the live image. anaconda-13.36-1.fc13 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 13. http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anaconda-13.36-1.fc13 |
