Bug 190411

Description of problem: When attempting to install FC5 on a Mac G4 867 MHz/2Mb 
cache  w/ 128 Mb RAM & 100 MB IDE drive.  The fisrt time through the 
installation I selected "Automatic Partitioning" and was able to respond to 
all questions leading up to the actual installation of files before the 
installation displayed an error trace.  On subsequent installation attempts 
the installation dumps right after selecting either manual or automatic 
partitioning.  The trace back follows:

File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 873, in nextClicked
self.dispatch.gotoNext()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 174, in gotoNext
self.moveStep()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 242 in moveStep
rc=apply(func, self.binArgs(args))
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py", line 54, in 
partitionObjectsInitialize
partitions.set FromDisk(diskset)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py", line 108, in getFromDisk
ptype=partedUtils.get_partitions_file_syste_type(part)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 140, in 
get_partition_file_system_type
elif (part.get_flag(parted.PARTITION_BOOT)==1 and
AttributeError: 'NameType" Object has no attribute 'name'

I read in a Linux forum that this may be related to the Apple boot record 
being removed by the auto-partitioning routine and that a fix could be to use 
the Ubuntu Breezy Badger installation disk to re-write the boot record.  I 
obtained the UBB installation disk and am able to install UBB and boot the 
system.  I am still not able to install FC5 on the system.  Below is the 
output from "parted" from the FC5 installation routine:

Disk label type: mac

Minor    Start    End      Filesystem       Name        Flags

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


How reproducible: Each installation attempt


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the system from the FC5 boot disk
2. Follow the installtion prompts until the partitioning method is presented
3. Select either manual or automatic partitioning
  
Actual results:  As indicated by the trace back above


Expected results:


Additional info:  This is not a dual boot installation attempt.  FC5 is 
intended to be the only OS on the system.
