Bug 157428

Can you please post the entire anaconda dump file?

Having a similar problem and not sure if I should post on a different thread but
here is what it is. My set up:
MSI K8N Platinum, AMD 3500+, 1GB RAM, Audigy ZS Gamer, Sony CD-RW Burner, a
120GB Seagate IDE (Master), and a 250GB Hitachi (Slave).
I'm a newb to Fedora so sorry if I'm just making a simple mistake but the
problem lies here. My 120GB is dedicated to MS XP and the new drive(250GB)was
partitioned with Partition Commander to have a 150GB fat32 partition. After
rebooted and started up with FC4, went through setup installing a Workstation
with some extra goodies. When Disk Druid came up, ran it auto through only the
250GB Hitachi so it would be as a fresh install but when I came to the final
screen before install it bugs out. I would hit the next button and it would
start to setup when this Exception rang out:

I am going to try and install it without the fat32 because I imagine that will
fix it easy, and as well... I imagine it says somewhere you aren't suppose to
put a fat32 partition with Linux and I just didn't see it. But yea, this problem
is consistent and runs through the same way every time.

THX!

Scratch that. Deleted fat32 partition and still came up with same problem. Going
to try one last thing... going to try and do manual install. If this doesn't
work, I'm done for now. I would think it would be a hardware issue but I had
already installed FC4 once and it didn't work because of other issues... but
System Commander is enabled so maybe there? Dunno... anyway here goes nothing.

Went a different route and the problem was bypassed. All throughout this
process, my P/S2 mouse was not being identified for whatever reason. So instead
of using GUI, went through text mode with auto Disk Droid for only the slave,
and seemingly it ran through. Only problem is now... that System Commander says
it doesn't have a operating system I think I'm going to be forced to instal
GRUB... But I really have no clue...

OUT.

(This is a mass update of bugs which have been in the NEEDINFO state unmodified
for over a year and have not been confirmed for a still supported version of
Fedora Core.)

Closing per lack of response to previous request for information.
This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora
Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version
for which this bug is confirmed.

Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security
fixes only.  Please install a still supported version and retest.  If
it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct
version.  Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the
product to Fedora Legacy.  Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not
get to this bug earlier.
