Please try again and once you hit the initial problem of no /boot, sizes all weird, etc. switch over to tty2, grab /tmp/storage.log, and attach it to this bug. Note that --size=1 --grow isn't really a wise thing to do. You should at least be providing a size that is minimally useful.

It will take me a day or two to do the testing as you requested, but if the box won't boot, how am I supposed to get something off of tty2? Are you suggesting I do something at install time with tty2, or after its messed up and I have a box that won't boot? Either way, I don't see how I'm supposed to get anything off the box. As I recall, the screens on the tty's are just logs of what's going on, and don't offer a command prompt.

During install, at any time after making partitions but before rebooting, press ctrl-alt-f2. That'll take you to the one console we have with a shell on it. From there, you can scp files to other machines or mount a USB device and copy them to that. Along with /tmp/storage.log, /tmp/syslog and /tmp/anaconda.log would be useful too.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
