OK, so since the above workaround only removes some environment variables which were being passed to the hotplug/udev script, it shouldn't matter that they're now missing, because the installer wasn't using them anyway? It's not a very nice fix, and we still have a kernel bug. But at least it's a possibility. -- dwmw2 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
