Anaconda Problem Upgrading RH8->FC2

[cibee]

Hi all,

I've been trying to upgrade my server from RH8 to FC2 using CD.I ran into anaconda bug as soon as I hit the next button after I selected upgrade an exisiting installation options.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 763, in nextClicked
self.dispatch.gotoNext()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext
self.moveStep()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 237, in moveStep
rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/upgrade.py", line 256, in upgradeMountFilesystems
allowDirty = 0)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/upgrade.py", line 133, in mountRootPartition
oldfsset.mountFilesystems(instPath, readOnly = readOnly)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 1471, in mountFilesystems
self.makeLVMNodes(instPath)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py", line 1485, in makeLVMNodes
if isinstance(root.device, LogicalVolumeDevice) or rootlvm1:
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'device'

I have no idea how to deal with this. Any pointers on how to go about this? I have the whole crashdump file if that is of any help.

Thanks in advance.
Cibee.

Hm, this is very similar to this Red Hat Bugzilla entry:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91389

In this case it was actually an issue with an fstab entry Anaconda didn't like, also during an upgrade. See if that helps point you in the right direction.
