User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:33.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/33.0 Build Identifier: I booted the last Fedora 21 ISO using the GRUB entry described here: menuentry "Fedora 21 Live Workstation x86_64" --class fedora { set isoname="Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-21-5.iso" set isopath="/PATH-TO-FILE/" set isofile="${isopath}/${isoname}" echo "Using ${isoname}..." loopback loop (hd0,7)$isofile linux (loop)/isolinux/vmlinuz0 iso-scan/filename=${isofile} root=live:CDLABEL=Fedora-Live-WS-x86_64-21-5 rootfstype=auto ro rd.live.image quiet rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 initrd (loop)/isolinux/initrd0.img } Everything worked well until I started the actual installation process, then the installer hung, throwing python traces (sorry, I don't have the exact error log, but it's easily reproducible). It hung when performing operations on a particular mount point I selected, which happens to be the same partition I was booting the ISO from. I then restarted the installer taking out the offending mount point and everything went smooth. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora ISO from GRUB, see "Details" for exact GRUB entry 2. Add the partition you are booting the ISO from as mout point for the new system 3. Start the installation, wait for it to perform operations on said mountpoint. Actual Results: The program crashed. Expected Results: The program should warn the user that (s)he cannot select the partition the ISO is booting from as a mount point.
