wow thanks for the eye opener! i thought i searched bugzilla for anaconda and found about 500 bugs last night. that is sick. they should take the rpm/database component out of the installation business. just write some script and note the packages installed in a flat file then after the system is up, build the complete rpm database? hmm <div>On 11/2/06, Andy Green <<a href="mailto:andy@warmcat.com">andy@warmcat.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Tom Horsley wrote: >> I always get >> >> "db4 error run database recovery" >> >> this happens in various places. > > My first reaction would be to blame the hardware :-).

System freezes, corrupted rpmdb ... this is a very serious issue which makes "FC6" and current "rawhide" essentially unusable on the affected systems. Any ideas?
