Dump from Anaconda installer
It is duplicated in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi? id=184032 because, after the submission of this report I received a message that "Product name is not valid. Go back and try again". I did, but then I realized that the report was created. *** Bug 184032 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** (In reply to comment #0) I mispelled the error message. Where it appears: prob_partition_for_geom() failed Read probe_partition_for_geom() failed I disconnected the Western Digital from my computer, but I still got the same message. The weird geometry is coming from the Samsung HD, which has the HP partition and WinXP installed. Since this is the disk I intend NOT to touch, I do not understand why Anaconda refuses to install Fedora in this computer. Is there a workaround if I disconnect the Samsung HD, plug the Western HD as master, install Fedora in it, and make a dual boot later? How? Could it be that the problem is the dual boot installer that is trying to modify /dev/hda? Anaconda says the dual boot information would be written there, but this hda has the HP factory partition that; from Windows, it is adviced to not touch it or else... :-) There are two partitions: one is FAT32 containing the "recovery" information, and the other is NTFS containing WinXP and my files. I'm less than beginner in Linux - step by step instruction, please. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138419 *** (In reply to comment #6) Chris, I found the bug 138419 before, and I also left a message there. I tried what is recommended there, but it did not help me. All the proposed workarounds there "fix" the wrong partitions by deleting them. Well, I cannot do that for two reasons: 1. It is a HP Pavilion and the partition is made with HP recovery disks. When I tried to install a regular Windows, the computer became unstable. There are some special (and hidden) Windows adaptations that only HP knows. 2. Since I have a second HD in my computer, I do not intend to touch the HP system. Anaconda's bug, however, complains about this HD that I do not intend to use, and is preventing me to install Fedora in the other. Can someone help me out? |
