RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Joachim Frieben 2010-05-23 05:46:38 UTC 
Created attachment 415920 [details]
anaconda log file saved after the exception occurred

Description of problem:
After initiating a network install from media RHEL6.0-20100414.0-AP-x86_64-boot.iso including updates.img as of 2010-05-23 downloaded by the installer, anaconda aborts when the boot partition is set up on a disk on which a fully working F12 is currently installed. The disk layout includes the boot partition /dev/sda2 to which mount point /boot is assigned and an additional LVM partition for the remaining volumes. The file system type is ext4 in all cases. The anaconda log file issued after the unhandled exception is attached to this report.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-13.21.20.5-1.el6.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start install of RHEL6 beta from boot.iso plus downloaded updates.img.
2. Set up disk layout.
3. Choose to reformat existing partition /dev/sda2 with mount point /boot
   and file system type ext4 as before (F12).
  
Actual results:
Installer aborts.

Expected results:
Installer adopts chosen disk layout and proceeds.

Additional info:
- Disk layout is supposed to be recycled from a working F12 system
  without changing any existing partition or volume apart from simply
  reformatting them using the same file system types as before.
- Note that /dev/sda2 was not assigned any partition label when setting
  up partitions from scratch during the preceding install of F12.
Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2010-05-24 14:29:05 UTC 
Can you please try again with a later build of anaconda?  13.21.20.5 is rather old at this point and I'm pretty sure this bug should be fixed.
Comment 3 Joachim Frieben 2010-05-24 22:39:59 UTC 
Are the any public repositories where I can find updated boot media for the EL6 development tree?
Comment 4 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-27 14:16:08 UTC
