anacdump
This the anacdump created by the error message with a request that it be
submitted to bugzilla.
I have reinstalled using ext3 instead of jfs on /dev/sda5 and this seems to have solved the problem. small correction to the info above - the boot line should have read linux jfs nofb ide=nodma text |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 Description of problem: I recieved the following error "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /dev/sda5 - Device or resource" while installing fedora 4 on a new Dell Deminsion 9100 (DIM 9100 630 3.0GHz, 512MB Dual Channel DDR2 400MHz (2x256) Memory, 160GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive, 256MB nVidia Ge Force 6800)with the request that I copy the anacdump to bugzilla (will attach). It occured during a text install - graphic install froze as soon as graphics loaded and when installed with the boot line 'linux nofb' I recieved the error along the lines of 'unsupported video mode' at the same stage in the process - I don't know if that had anything to do with the error. The command line I finally installed from was: linux jfs nofb ide=nodma hope this helps.

This means Linux won't know about any changes you made to /dev/sda5 until you reboot - so you shouldn't mount it or use it in any way before rebooting. /tmp/lvmout: No volume groups found apable devices Wiping internal VG cache Finding all volume groups No volume groups found Reading all physical volumes.
