Description Leung Ki Chi 2005-08-14 17:24:53 UTC
Using the 14 Aug installer snapshot, I received the following error after
emerging dhcpcd. However, the installer manages to continue and emerge lilo.

Comment 3 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-14 18:25:03 UTC
I guess I missed an instance when I was modifying code when I made the IP->GLISD
changes. This should be fixed in cvs. Use the instructions in the FAQ to update
to the latest snapshot and test that.
Comment 4 Leung Ki Chi 2005-08-15 03:38:27 UTC
Still not fixed.

Using snapshot downloaded 3 hours ago (0730 GMT).

Exception occurs at the same place - after emerging dhcpcd and before emerging lilo.
Comment 5 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-15 06:04:52 UTC
The bug is actually occuring *after* emerging lilo. It just appears to be before
due to the way the GTK frontend tails the logfile. I'm going need the
installer.log from the latest crash, as I thought I had fixed this.
Comment 6 Andrew Gaffney (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-08-15 10:54:59 UTC
I found the other place I missed. This should take care of it now. Try the
latest snapshot.
Comment 7 Leung Ki Chi 2005-08-16 05:50:31 UTC
Verified fixed! Using 20050816 snapshot.

Thanks a million, agaffney! :-D
Comment 8 Jeffrey Forman (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-03-24 13:46:32 UTC
Moving to Release Media/Installer.
