I'm attempting to install rawhide to a domU using xenguest-install. However it hangs on "Searching for Fedora Core installations..."
This is paravirt on ia64. The installation is running on the xen (text) console, so there appears to be no way to access the debugging information anaconda would be stashing on the other virtual consoles, or in /tmp.
xm list shows domU is spinning; the CPU time is climbing steadily.
Debugging suggestions?
Thanks, Aron
Attempting to debug, I started the "installation" with
xenguest-install -n domu -r 512 -f /root/domu.img \ -s 4 --nographics -p \ -l http://hummer.zko.hp.com/fedora/linux/core/development/ia64/os/ \ -x 'ide0=noprobe ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe ide3=noprobe rescue nomount'
but it appears rescue mode doesn't work with today's rawhide, at least not under xenguest-install:
Running anaconda, the Fedora Core rescue mode - please wait... Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 703, in ? rescue.runRescue(anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/rescue.py", line 260, in runRescue runShell(screen) UnboundLocalError: local variable 'screen' referenced before assignment install exited abnormally [1/1]
The bug looks apparent in rescue.py: screen is only initialized under the condition: if not methodUsesNetworking(anaconda.id.methodstr)
