Unfortunately not quite. When exit anaconda with a non-zero error code, init does the delayed reboot thing and doesn't start killing processes until user enters c-a-d, so debugging of the running programs is still possible.

BTW there's a separate debate whether e.g. upon reporting exception to a bugzilla we should still wait for c-a-d or whether that is just a correct termination of the install process. It's bug 525615. I prefer to keep the delayed reboot in this case because it is an exception after all and we might still want to look at the terminals, use shell, etc.


I think I will just switch back to tty1 from the init/loader as
Chris suggests. That can't do any harm (except not being too
consistent of course).

The advantage of this approach is that it's more like what a regular
program would do - we're not putting more special "pretend anaconda's in
a completely different environment" stuff in.

Absolutely. I will send a patch later today.
