Does this occur with booting with: linux reiserfs selinux=0 The problem does not occur if I boot with: linux reiserfs selinux=0 reiserfs doesn't work with SELinux. As has always been the case "# this is totally, 100% unsupported. Boot with "linux reiserfs" # at the boot: prompt will let you make new reiserfs filesystems # in the installer. Bugs filed when you use this will be closed # WONTFIX." This is part of why -- it doesn't (and won't) support xattrs or other features which the OS may depend on at some point. Thus, closing as WONTFIX (although reasonable patches will be considered) |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2 Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start installer with: linux reiserfs 2. change disk partitions to use reiserfs 3. installer hangs on "Installing Packages" screen Additional info: Instead of seeing a "formatting filesystem" message, the installer hangs. I can move the mouse, but the install does not continue (and I let it sit for 20 minutes). This happened when I set SELinux to Active and also with SELinux set to Disabled. Rebooting and using the default ext3 FS allowed the install to proceed normally.
