When starting to install FC3 on a system (that has two harddisks, that are loaded with an old redhat-linux, winxp and win98) the installer has a parted exception and stops. It happens just a few steps after the graphical installsystem starts (after the questions about language and keyboard). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Reboot with FC3 DVD in drive 2. Start installing with graphicall installer 3. After country/keyboard questions a popup named "bug" warns thatthere has been a parted exception and offers the choice to ignore or cancel. I choose ignore. 4. Another popup shows, also named "bug" also with a warning concerning a parted exception with also the choice ignore and cancel. I choose ignore. 5. Installer shuts down (shows the system shutdown, and the message "it is now safe to reboot"). Actual results: Expected results: Probably the partition-editor should have started at this point. Additional info: The ALT-F1 screen has this info (I had to write it down and now type it out since copy and paste were of no use, so pardon the spelling/other small mistakes there might be): .....
