This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping *** Bug 538543 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Some useful excerpts from the logs (identical in both logs):
Traceback (most recent call first):
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/formats/__init__.py", line 290, in setup
raise FormatSetupError("invalid device specification")
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/formats/swap.py", line 118, in setup
DeviceFormat.setup(self, *args, **kwargs)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 1662, in turnOnSwap
And the last line of anaconda.log:
17:02:04 DEBUG : SwapSpace.setup: device: /mnt/sysimag/var/swap ; status: False ; type: swap ;
So it seems that this traceback gets caused by the use of a swap file (/mnt/sysimag/var/swap), which is somehow not yet created at the time we try to
use it.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 541473 *** probably my fstab file contain more text then anaconda expect. try to play with this swap file: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /var/swap swap swap defaults 0 0 instead, correct one: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /var/swap swap swap |
