The dump from this error
FWIW, I've tried a few different options from the partition selection menu (clear all parts, manual, etc) all of them error out. More details on this. The partition type being reported in anaconda does not match what fdisk reports: Command (m for help): p Disk /dev/sdb: 146.8 GB, 146814976000 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 17849 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0007d83f Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 64 512000 fd Linux raid autodetect Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

plaintext exception report
This was fixed in anaconda-13.21.24 (bug 570474) and then more completely/correctly in anaconda-13.21.50-1 (bug 593637). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 570474 *** |
Description of problem: I incorrectly filed #609651. In telling anaconda to install the boot loader on /dev/md0, both of those partitions got converted to a partition table (MSDOS) type. When attempting to re-install, I now see sd[b-c]1 set as the MSDOS partition type. When clicking edit, then changing format as to software raid, anaconda throws an error message. Upon clicking debug it prints just: Entering debugger... > /usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devices.py(697)_setFormat() -> raise DeviceError("cannot replace active format", self.name) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Whatever comes with RHEL6 beta 2 that shipped today How reproducible: Every time.
