  3. (876716) anaconda crashes after setting root password (tflink, 17:17:04)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876716 (tflink, 17:17:04)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 17:17:04)
    3. AGREED: 876716 - It seems as if more people are hitting this than show up on the bug but we still don't have a reliable reproducing case or debug info - will wait on decision in case either one of those things is found and revisit later. (tflink, 17:23:27)

  4. (869424) RuntimeError: Error running systemctl: No such file or directory (tflink, 17:23:36)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869424 (tflink, 17:23:39)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED (tflink, 17:23:41)
    3. AGREED: 869424 - This needs to be re-tested with latest anaconda in order to determine whether or not the original bug has been fixed. Will re-visit after the re-testing is complete (tflink, 17:34:11)

  5. (880263) DMError: partition activation failed for 'mpatha' (tflink, 17:34:28)

    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 17:34:28)
    3. AGREED: 880263 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 alpha release criterion for systems using LVM on mpath: "The installer must boot and run on all primary architectures, with all system firmware types that are common on those architectures, from default live image, DVD, and boot.iso install media ..." (tflink, 17:58:07)

  6. (876218) kernel boot + nfsiso repo = hang on reboot (tflink, 17:58:18)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=876218 (tflink, 17:58:18)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED (tflink, 17:58:18)
    3. AGREED: 876218 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 release criterion for reboots during/after NFSISO based installs: "Any installation method or process designed to run unattended must do so (there should be no prompts requiring user intervention)" (tflink, 18:20:43)

  7. (875599) anaconda keeping error status after Change the installation source to point to a custom HTTP/FTP repository (tflink, 18:20:49)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875599 (tflink, 18:20:52)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 18:20:55)
    3. AGREED: 875599 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - While this is a problem with a rather non-intuitive solution, it doesn't clearly violate any of the F18 release criteria. A well-tested fix would be considered after freeze. (tflink, 18:32:08)

  8. (858628) Some buttons and labels in Anaconda can't be localized (tflink, 18:32:24)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=858628 (tflink, 18:32:25)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 18:32:25)
    3. AGREED: 858628 - AcceptedBlocker - Prevents translation of some strings in the installer and thus violates the following F18 final release criterion: "All critical path actions on release-blocking desktop environments should correctly display all sufficiently complete translations available for use" (tflink, 18:37:01)

  9. (875477) ValueError: name already in use (tflink, 18:37:14)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=875477 (tflink, 18:37:14)

    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 18:44:54)
    3. AGREED: 876547 - At this point, there aren't enough debug logs or reproducers to make a call on blocker status, will revisit when there is more available information and more tests done. (tflink, 18:58:25)

  11. (873293) custom storage ui fails to create lvm unless all disks have free space (tflink, 18:58:37)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=873293 (tflink, 18:58:40)
    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, ASSIGNED (tflink, 18:58:42)
    3. AGREED: 873293 - RejectedBlocker, AceptedNTH - This isn't a crash but it would be nice if the installer had a clearer error message to identify the cause of this issue, it is recoverable. Rejected as a blocker for F18 final but a tested fix would be considered past freeze. (tflink, 19:14:05)

  12. (876789) FormatDestroyError: error wiping old signatures from /dev/md/Volume0_0p2: 1 (tflink, 19:14:29)

    2. Proposed Blocker, anaconda, NEW (tflink, 19:19:51)
    3. AGREED: 879612 - AcceptedBlocker - Violates the following F18 final release criteria for using a local iso as an installation source: "The installer must be able to use all supported local and remote package source options" (tflink, 19:27:03)

  14. (879610) SystemError: (32, 'umount: /run/install/isodir: target is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1))') (tflink, 19:27:42)
    1. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=879610 (tflink, 19:27:45)

    4. AGREED: 869978 - While this doesn't hit any of the current F18 release criteria, there is discussion about adding a new release criterion to cover a subset of kickstart options. Will re-visit after discussion on test@ (tflink, 19:50:05)

  16. (864087) wired ethernet defaults to Off in certain situations (tflink, 19:50:15)

    3. AGREED: 864087 - RejectedBlocker, AcceptedNTH - While this can be nonintuitive to discover and figure out post-install, it doesn't directly violate any F18 release criterion and could be fixed post-install.
