hi,
I'm playing around a bit with Anaconda. I want to use it as an installer
for custom UML images and the likes. Anaconda barfed on me and I'm not
really sure what to do to fix it.
What I did was the following:
- start Xnest on localhost:2 (without access control)
- export DISPLAY=localhost:2
- # anaconda --graphical --rootpath=/tmp/anaconda --method=cdrom:///dev/hdb:/tmp/source
where /dev/hdb has my Fedora Core 3 DVD, and which is mounted on /tmp/source
Everything works fine, miniwm and everything starts, I can configure the
firewall, timezone, network interfaces, packages, etc.
When I start installing Anaconda barfs with:
IndexError: list index out of range
The complete traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1128, in handleRenderCallback
self.currentWindow.renderCallback()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 242, in renderCallback
self.intf.icw.nextClicked()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 872, in nextClicked

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 759, in doPreInstall
if method.systemMounted (id.fsset, instPath):
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 183, in systemMounted
self.loopbackFile = "%s%s%s" % (chroot,
IndexError: list index out of range
The method where it barfs:
def systemMounted(self, fsset, chroot):
print "chroot: ", chroot
print fsset.filesystemSpace(chroot)
self.loopbackFile = "%s%s%s" % (chroot,
fsset.filesystemSpace(chroot)[0][0],
"/rhinstall-stage2.img")
With a few debug statements I've verified that fsset.filesystemSpace(chroot)
is [], which of course causes the IndexError.
My questions: what does this filesystemSpace actually do and how can I
fix this particular problem, I know it's a bit of an exotic use of Anaconda,
but it would be neat to be able to use it this way :)
Oh, I'm using anaconda 10.2.0.24 on an up to date Fedora Core 3 system.
thanks in advance,
armijn
