Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html. Withe the updated parted-1.8.5-1.fc7 version, I still get errors with the disk recognition for a working hard disk. parted /dev/sda print Error: Can't have a partition outside the disk!

[root@cornette-dell-hdb ~]# parted /dev/sdb print Model: ATA WDC WD800JB-00JJ (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 80.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 101MB 101MB primary ext3 boot 2 101MB 50.1GB 50.0GB primary ext3 3 50.1GB 50.6GB 512MB primary linux-swap(new) 4 50.6GB 80.0GB 29.4GB primary ext3 Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. Can you try parted-1.8.6-4.fc6 to see if it can read your disks correctly? I have built this is a special package for you to try: http://people.redhat.com/dcantrel/RPMS/parted/ Install on FC-6 and run it to see if the print command works. This package will most likely conflict with pyparted and maybe other things. Easiest thing to do is force install it using --nodeps on rpm. Once you have performed the test to see if print works, remove the parted-1.8.6-4 packages using 'rpm -e --nodeps'. Run 'yum install parted' to reinstall the correct parted for FC-6. The version in FC6 worked as the version in the repo. Both gave the same results. Anything after FC6 will not install via anaconda because it wants to initialize the first disk /dev/hda (/dev/sda in development) FC7 version of parted gives errors. I figured it would but thought I'd try anyway and include results. parted /dev/hda print Model: ST360015A (ide) Disk /dev/hda: 60.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 24.7GB 24.7GB primary ntfs boot 2 24.7GB 24.8GB 107MB primary ext3 3 24.8GB 45.8GB 21.0GB primary ext3 4 45.8GB 60.0GB 14.3GB extended 5 45.8GB 60.0GB 14.3GB logical lvm Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary.

What I did was build the rawhide parted with a new patch (which may or may not fix the problem you've reported, hence wanting you to test it out) for FC-6. Based on your comments in this bug report, I am assuming you have a working FC-6 install. What I wanted you to do was install parted-1.8.6-4.fc6 from this location: http://people.redhat.com/dcantrel/RPMS/parted/ On your FC-6 system. You will get rpm dependency conflicts, but it's ok for this test. Just get parted-1.8.6-4.fc6 to install on your FC-6 side and then run: parted /dev/hda print I want to know if the patch I've added works. Once you have performed the test, post the results here. To reset your FC-6 system back to the current released parted rpm for FC-6, simply use 'rpm -e --nodeps' to remove parted-1.8.6-4.fc6 that you force-installed for the test. Then use 'yum install parted' to let it pull to FC-6 parted back from the repository. The key to this test is running 'parted /dev/hda print' using the parted-1.8.6-4.fc6 package from the URL above. Sorry for the lack of clarity. The version that is part of FC6 is below: parted /dev/hda print Model: ST360015A (ide) Disk /dev/hda: 60.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 24.7GB 24.7GB primary ntfs boot 2 24.7GB 24.8GB 107MB primary ext3 3 24.8GB 45.8GB 21.0GB primary ext3 4 45.8GB 60.0GB 14.3GB extended 5 45.8GB 60.0GB 14.3GB logical lvm Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. --- Your version for test results are below. There is no difference that I can see. parted /dev/hda print Model: ST360015A (ide) Disk /dev/hda: 60.0GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: msdos Number Start End Size Type File system Flags 1 32.3kB 24.7GB 24.7GB primary ntfs boot 2 24.7GB 24.8GB 107MB primary ext3 3 24.8GB 45.8GB 21.0GB primary ext3 4 45.8GB 60.0GB 14.3GB extended 5 45.8GB 60.0GB 14.3GB logical lvm Information: Don't forget to update /etc/fstab, if necessary. FC6 System is back to the original state. It looks like the patch I added fixed up the problem. Building a new parted-1.8.6-4.fc7 in to rawhide and closing the bug. Thanks for testing things out for me. No problem testing out te patch. I will try F7T4 to see if installation is possible with the working FC6 still present on the primary disk. Fedora test four shows the below error message.

I believe that I have two kernel bugs opened against the hard drive problem. This problem was encountered when trying to install F7T1. I have no problems using the development version since I do not mount /dev/sda often except to get information periodically. Basically, when trying to install from media, it wants to reformat my working FC6 installation. Also the swap file within the lvm for FC6 is not accessible. I get errors on bootup about reading past the end of the disk. I get the below message repeatably in dmesg. attempt to access beyond end of device sda: rw=0, want=117226171, limit=111137883 printk: 86 messages suppressed.
