Description Daniel Mach 2009-08-21 11:18:47 UTC 
Description of problem:
Installation fails with an error related to partitioning.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Latest anaconda in rawhide (2009-08-21).


Steps to Reproduce:
80G HDD
3 primary partitions (15000M each, ext3, force primary)
set first one as /
create 4th partition as LVM2 pvm, force primary, fill rest space
create 4096M vg0-swap
  
Actual results:
"Unable to mount filesystem" error with following text:
An error occurred mounting device /dev/sda1 as /:
mount failed: (2, None). This is a fatal error...

Expected results:
should work :)

I can attach additional logs, if needed, let me know if you want any.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2009-08-21 14:22:42 UTC 
Can you switch over to tty2 and attempt to mount / using various filesystem types?  In particular, I'm curious if it mounts as ext2.
Comment 3 Daniel Mach 2009-08-23 19:24:03 UTC 
The first partition was broken, I suppose it was overwritten by the last one when it "attempted to access beyond the end of device" (see end of the first comment).
When I removed the last partition and reformatted / as ext3, everything worked.
