If you upgrade your system, redHat 6.1 will crash if the installer encounters an NTFS partition before it finds your root partition, (I have an NTFS partition on /dev/sdb5 and my root is /dev/sdb6, for example). The bug is in /misc/src/anaconda/balkan/dos.c, where you guys forgot a "break" instruction after line 141: switch (table->parts[i].type) { case 0x01: case 0x04: case 0x06: case 0x0b: case 0x0c: case 0x0e: case 0x0f: table->parts[i].type = BALKAN_PART_DOS; break; case 0x7: table->parts[i].type = BALKAN_PART_NTFS; + break; // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< add this! case 0x83: table->parts[i].type = BALKAN_PART_EXT2; break;
