Version of components: RHEL6.0-20100201.4 anaconda-13.21.8-1.el6 Steps to Reproduce: 1. prepare the testing environment by installing RHEL6.0-20100201.4 using default autopartitioning (LVM) 2. Start the installation of RHEL6.0-20100201.4 again, select any installation method and proceed to stage2. 3. In graphical installation, proceed to partitioning dialog. 4. Click on "Create custom layout". 5. Delete lv_root, lv_home and lv_swap, after that try to delete LVM PV Result: Anaconda crashes with traceback Expected result: the installation should continue, user should be able to delete LVM PV from previous installation I can reproduce this. The problem is that we create a partition layout like this: partition startsector endsector /boot 2048 1026047 PV 1026048 xxxxxxxxxx Then when the PV gets deleted, we call getFreeRegions() (which is fine), but parted gives us a free region with a geometry starting at sector 63 and ending at sector 2047, which we then try to align to our 2048 grain, which fails for the starting sector. When we fail to align, this means that the free region is to small to create an aligned partition in there, and we should just skip it. Here is an updates.img fixing this: http://people.fedoraproject.org/~jwrdegoede/updates-rh561278.img The fix for this will be in the next anaconda build: anaconda-13.21.9-1, putting in modified. Hello, Working correctly on newest build RHEL6.0-20100203.3 with anaconda-13.21.9-1. Closing this bug as VERIFIED. Red Hat Enterprise Linux Beta 2 is now available and should resolve the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. |
