anacdump.txt

I attempted a simple custom partition layout - 3 bare partitions, no LVM: ext3 /boot, 1024MB swap, everything else / - in a KVM guest.

I got a traceback indicating that swapon seems to have failed - the message on tty5 says:
  "swapon: can't stat '/dev/sda2': No such file or directory"
but /dev/sda2 does exist. Perhaps there's a race between anaconda and udev here?

Full dump is attached. here's the traceback:

anaconda 11.5.0.35 exception report
Traceback (most recent call first):
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devicelibs/swap.py", line 85, in swapon
    raise SwapError("swapon failed for '%s'" % device)

    swap.swapon(self.device, priority=self.priority)
  File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1356, in turnOnSwap
    device.format.setup()
