F17 alpha install halted - DVD image on USB

2012-03-02 Thread Frederic Muller

Hi!

Downloaded F17 alpha and used livecd-to-disk -format --reset-mbr to 
generate a bootable USB disk. The disk boots and halt in the following way:

http://imagebin.org/201657

I took a look at current know issues (like not being able to install on 
an already installed system) and did a quick google search on the last 
error message without any much luck.


Is this a new problem (and I'll happily file a bug) or a know issue 
which I failed to find?


Thanks a lot.

Fred

That looks like it's trying to do the /usr migration on an existing
system and failing for some reason. Are you doing an upgrade?

I hit a kernel bug on installation for one system where it would sit
there and do almost nothing but spit out error messages about every
couple of minutes. There was more information when I removed the quiet
boot param.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=795992

It was fixed in a newer kernel but it wasn't included in F17 alpha.

It actually happens before Anaconda is launched, and no I usually wipe 
the disk clean but didn't have a chance to let it know.

Thanks for the hint. I'll check this and report back.
