What message are you seeing from anaconda?

Comment 2 Łukasz Trąbiński 2006-03-20 21:47:21 UTC

I don't precisely remember, message was in debug options, it was some error
about mounting
/dev/hda4               /windows                auto    umask=0022,rw   1 1
from /etc/fstab. It was of course during upgrade from FC4 to FC5, not install
new system.

Comment 3 Jeremy Katz 2006-03-21 16:34:06 UTC

Unfortunately, if you use auto, there is no way to determine what filesystem
type you _really_ want.  We do ignore filesystems that are explicitly listed as
'ntfs', thus if you want it ignored on upgrade, use that instead of 'auto'

I initiated a bug report marked as duplicate. My fstab did not contain
references to ntfs partitions (per se or auto) I eliminated step by step other
file systems, vfat, smbfs, nfs etc. to no avail. Finally I removed fd0 the
floppy and got past the crash. It is quite possible that the problem lies in
ntfs but it appears that upgrades involving a number of file systems are a
problem. I can provide the original fstab and the minimal file needed to upgrade
or the diff file.

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2006-03-31 15:53:36 UTC

Charles - on closer inspection, you're getting the exact same problem but in a
different way.  Your /dev/fd0 mount is an auto fstype as well, so that exploded.
 We need to be handling these better in general.
