Bug 498464

Description of problem:

When I run the anaconda installer on F11 Preview LiveCD, I select a custom layout, /boot and / partitiona in ~8GB free space in the extended partition, but then the installer tells me it will format /dev/sda7 which is recognised as type 'none', although it is a ~48GB ext3 data partition.


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

F11 Preview LiveCD

How reproducible:

Boot up LiveCd, select 'Install to Hardisk', and select Custom Layout, create ext3 /boot and ext4 / partittion in freespace, then continue.


Steps to Reproduce:

(above)
  
Actual results:

Installer says it will format an existing partition whic was not selected in the custom layout. Also, it recognises the partition type as 'none' when fdisk, parted show it as ext3


Expected results:

Install on the selected partitons in the free space, leave all other partitions alone

Additional info:

Here's the disk layout, I'm trying to install in the ~8gb free space between sda8 and sda9. The installer doesn't recognise partition type (ext3) of sda7 and says it will be formatted and all data lost)
