katzj removed component 'anaconda' and added instead 'parted' I am just wondering; is that because the seemingly failing nash line (dm: aka device-mapper?) is quitely invoking parted to do some or all of its work? Of course, it is possible that the Windo$e install DID make a hidden mess of the partition table, and parted is spotting that. I am ready to try any non-destructive tests. I loaded Fedora 7 final release on the USB external drive, and found that the ONLY problem with booting it was this bug. It seems (:-)) that the installer is now installing all relevant kernel modules to boot from USB. I am happy to try and do any suggested diagnostics to help determine why the installer seems to be setting the dm command to a wrong value. I would also be pleased to learn more about the nash interpreter. It's MAN page does not cover either the rmparts or the dm commands which are relevant to this bug. I cannot find nash's source anywhere, not that I would necessarily have any skills to read it! So partitioning and installing to the disk is working as of Fedora 7 for you? If so, I think this is now a mkinitrd bug (the component that has nash). Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
