Description Cosmin Hanulescu 2001-08-15 14:12:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

I am trying to make a workstation install on a primary HDD connected to 
the seccond IDE (hdc). After I made several atempts to set the size for 
the root partition by playing with the begin/end cilinder values, the 
installer hangs when I push the Next button.

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

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. manual partitioning with Disk Druid for "hdc"

2. set the root partition - hdc1 - with ext3 file system, force primary 
partition and bad block(s) checking marked

3. set swap partition - hdc2 - with primary partition and bad block(s) 
checking marked

4. use the "edit" dialog box several times for adjusting the sizes for the 
above mentioned partitions to the desired ones by playing with the 
begin/end cilinder values (in my case ~9.5 GB hdc1 & ~ 256 MB hdc2)

5. installer hangs when the "next" button is pressed, debug information is 
shown

Is this in GUI or text mode?

Is it possible to have the fix as a patch at runtime? I recall some releases 
ago a patch being released for the installer which was a mere few lines python 
script, but I can't recall the options used to make the installer ask for it. 

Anyway, I'm diging the Rawhide archives right now to learn more about the 
latest release of anaconda.
