[Fedora-livecd-list] FC5T2: anaconda makes my screen flicker!!

[Chitlesh GOORAH]

Hai there,
Ive wiped out my FC4 to install FC5T2 just to test kadischi. It's a
pity that till now I couldn't get nvidia working. Anyway,

I tried to patch anaconda, but it failed:

patch -b /usr/sbin/anaconda /usr/local/share/kadischi/patches/anaconda.patch
patching file /usr/sbin/anaconda
Hunk #1 FAILED at 400.
Hunk #2 succeeded at 510 with fuzz 2 (offset 16 lines).
Hunk #3 succeeded at 1154 (offset 22 lines).
1 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file /usr/sbin/anaconda.rej

So I get my hands into the patch, and create a NEW patch. Ive attached
it in this mail.

Ive patched anaconda again. This time is was successful.

patch -b /usr/sbin/anaconda /home/chitlesh/anacondafc5t2.patch
patching file /usr/sbin/anaconda

Ive successfully patched flags.py too.

[root at goorah ~]# patch -b /usr/lib/anaconda/flags.py
/usr/local/share/kadischi/patches/flags.py.patch
patching file /usr/lib/anaconda/flags.py

But kadischi cant launch anaconda.

[root at goorah ~]# kadischi cdrom:// /tmp/fc5t2.iso

    raise AttributeError, attr
AttributeError: livecd

  ***  Fatal error: anaconda returned non zero (256) exit code.

Then, I patched kadischi.py with JasperHartline's kadischi-fc5tx.patch
and executed kadischi cdrom:// /tmp/fc5t2.iso again.

THIS TIME ANACONDA MADE my screen flick repetitively after detecting
my graphic card. All i needed to do is to press the power button.

after booting my FC5T2 again, I tried again. But landed with another error.

I am in the copying process of the dvd on my drive and ill execute
kadischi afterwards. Ill keep you tuned.
