Bug 131346

Description of problem: Since the iMac DV still doesn't do graphical
installs (bug #121265), I performed a text mode install. This machine
already had Fedora Core 2 (duke tree) running on it, with all updates
applied.

When it came to partitioning, I chose to have a clean install and
tried to get Disk Druid started, in text mode. Then I got a fun error :)


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Rawhide latest, 30th August 2004

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform a mac text install
2. Get to selecting the install type (NFS), then wait till you get to
disk partitioning options
3. Choosing automatic partition or even Disk Druid throws wonderful
errors, sig11'ing anaconda
  
Actual results:
When using Disk Druid:
Assertion (per_partition_is_active (part)) at disk.c:935 in function
ped_partition_get_flag() failed. <ignore> <cancel>
                                                                     
          
I click <ignore> at this stage (let's call this stage #1)

Assertion (part->disk_specific != NULL) at disk_mac.c:1137 in function
mac_partition_get_flag() failed. <ignore> <cancel>

Install will exit abnormally

If at stage #1, I click Cancel, I get:

part.get_flag(parted.PARTITION_BOOT):

<ok><debug>

If <ok> is clicked, the installer exits...

Expected results:
I go past partitioning and all is well

Additional info:
If I choose an automatic install, it just posts the following error:
Error Partitioning
Could not allocate requested partitions:
requested FileSystemType needs a flag that is not available

Keep in mind that this is saying "remove all Linux partitions" or even
"remove all partitions on the system" options. 20GB disk, FC2 worked
fine, have no idea why this installer borked on the iMac DV (except
that it was a text mode install)

This graphical installer worked fine on several other macs, w/o issue.
I might try to reproduce this with text mode on another box as well.
