Description Simon 2005-07-16 10:54:42 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

Description of problem:
FC4 installer crashed when on disk partitioning phase. There are 2 SATA drives in my PC, and installing FC4 to second disk (/dev/sdb). First attempt was a manual configuration, second attempt was default using LVM. /dev/sda contains 2 NTFS partitions with Windows XP installed. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In disk partitioning setup, choose automatic disk partitioning, installing to /dev/sdb.
  

Actual Results:  Got the anaconda dump which I saved to floppy.

Expected Results:  Expected the partitioning to happen successfully, and FC4 to install.

Comment 2 Jeremy Katz 2005-07-18 19:15:33 UTC 
Looks like things were going badly due to overrunning some space available with
spamming of the following in the logs:
  <4>drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -75 received
  <4>drivers/usb/input/hid-core.c: input irq status -75 received
Comment 3 Pete Zaitcev 2005-07-18 19:45:28 UTC 
So, does it all work when using a different keyboard or mouse?
Comment 4 Pete Zaitcev 2005-09-08 21:06:37 UTC 
This symptom is typical for the Microsoft Natural keyboard.
If for some reason a report was not read, next report is appended
to the previous one and the result is a persistent bubble condition.
Is this a Microsoft keyboard? Does other keyboard work?
Comment 5 Dave Jones 2005-09-30 23:53:04 UTC 
http://fedora.isphuset.no/ contains an unofficial Fedora 4.1, which may get you
up and running, as it has a install kernel based on one of the errata kernels.
Comment 6 Pete Zaitcev 2005-10-18 08:46:05 UTC 
Simon seems to be uncooperative, which is too bad, because I just had
a thremendous idea how to handle the Microsoft Natural and the bubble
condition. But it needs a strong reproducer. Closing as "buy a different
keyboard".
