Comment 1 George R. Goffe 2016-10-21 15:49:25 UTC
This install attempt is taking place in a VirtualBox VM (VirtalBox-5.1.8). The  partition scheme attempted is as follows:

/sda1 /boot (2g)
/sda2 /     (2g)
/sda3 swap  (7g)
/sda4 Extended
/sda5 /var  (15g)
/sda6 /opt  (31g)
/sda7 /usr  (31g)
/sda8 /export/home (40.13g)

This partition map has been in use for several years... since EARLY Fedora Core (Fedora 11 to Fedora 23/24/25/26).

There is also a problem with manually entering partitions. Near the end, the partitions seem to be sorted via partition mount point. I enter the above and the partitions are sorted by mount point which destroys the partition map that I have entered. Sorting is not needed or wanted here.

Thanks Rex for the hints.

George...

Comment 2 Steven R. Loomis 2016-11-18 20:42:10 UTC
Reproduced on metal (x86_64).  I also noticed that the sidebar says 'Fedora Cloud' while the DVD was supposed to be Workstation… and the repository in question is fedora-atomic. Verified this in the shell.

/run/install/repo/content/repo/refs/heads/fedora-atomic/25/x86_64 does NOT exist

but /run/install/repo/content/repo/refs/heads/fedora/25/x86_64 does.

So it seems the installer is confused about which flavor it is?

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:30:50 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:53:04 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
