Anything other than one IDE hard disk with default layout really.2 out of 5 ? - I got 3 out of 4 fails including hitting error paths that clearly were not tested because the error printing code didn't work but spewed python traces - and yes its in bugzilla already.By the time I'm done, I expect 5 for 5 failures (so far, I'm 2 out of 2). Starting with F9, Anaconda reliably failed to install grub for me, on every one of my machines, despite that they're all different. Some have one IDE hard drive, others use softraid on top of a pair of SCSI drives. Some are i386, others x86_64. There is no common denominator that I can see. So far, now with F11, on the first two machines, Anaconda keeps failing to install Grub, so I have to do it. I have no reason to believe that the remaining three won't be any different.Say this again please? "By the time I'm done, I expect 5 for 5 failures".
Right.
Are you crazy.
I'm pretty sure I'm not.
"By the time I'm done, I expect 5 for 5
failures". The odds sux!
Yes, but I'm not playing the roulette.
How many failures would expect from clean, fresh installs?
Dunno -- haven't done fresh installs in a long time.
Would a "clean, fresh install" and then have to reconfigure 'something/any/many things, be a disaster?
Yes -- since I'd lose all the data I've accumulated, over the years.
As opposed to an "By the time
I'm done, I expect 5 for 5 failures" upgrade followed by a "clean, fresh
install?", as opposed to a fresh install to begin with first, and a
re-configure after?
It's not too bad. Although, as I've said, Anaconda barfs when trying to install grub, I've now gotten the routine down pat. Takes only a minute or two, to fix it up. Much easier than wiping and doing a fresh install.
