Yes, I've verified this problem. To be a bit more specific... the text installer handles this properly. Fixed in cvs on anaconda-7-2-branch and on head. Thanks for your bug report. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.9-13SGI_XFS_PR1 i686) Description of problem: Grub allows spaces in boot labels, lilo doesn't . Anaconda allows them in both, which will cause a failure. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run graphical installation 2. Choose lilo for the bootloader 3. Enter a boot label with spaces Actual Results: Lilo will fail Expected Results: I'd expect anaconda to restrict me to valid boot labels so that lilo will not fail. ;-) Additional info: Works for me - --- anaconda-7.2/iw/bootloader_gui.py.orig Wed Nov 7 14:30:09 2001 +++ anaconda-7.2/iw/bootloader_gui.py Wed Nov 7 14:30:48 2001 @@ -179,7 +179,7 @@ cur = text[i] # lilo did not allow ' '!, grub does # if cur == ' ' or cur == '#' or cur == '$' or cur == '=': - if cur == '#' or cur == '$' or cur == '=': + if cur == '#' or cur == '$' or cur == '=' or (self.lilo_radio.get_active() and cur == " "): entry.emit_stop_by_name ("insert_text") return i = i + 1
