I solved part of the problem by a very crude "fix" to anaconda, replacing "/dev/tty6" by "/dev/tty5" anywhere it occured in lvm.py file. It is certainly not the way to go, and I dont know what kind of side effects it may have. But at least /dev/tty5 is reponsive (one can write to it) and as it seems to be what's needed... Anyway, in my current configuration, it works... Anybody knows what /dev/tty6 is supposed to be (outside of a place for a apparently non-running getty -or whatever-)? Why is that hardcoded there? Why does it works on all my machines except one type (supermicro board with 3ware RAID card boot on sdb, sda and sdc having to be ignored)? I dont understand this at all. Looking at SL5 anaconda code, it looks like that /dev/tty6 disapeared from the source code (a large part of the affected area has been rewrote, I didnt followed everything), maybe it was a bad idea? Thanks for any help. Yannick PS: well... Not the end of it. Anaconda arrived to the "you may safely reboot your system" point, and crashed: "Buffer I/O request on device fd0, logical block 0 loader[455]: segfault at 0000000000000000000 rip 0000000000000000 rsp 000000007fbffffae8 error 14 ... BTW I have no floppy neither CDROMs... Maybe the IPMI card goes in the way by creating buggy virtual devices?
