Anaconda dump from install of simple_config2
Why is there just one partition of type 0xfd? There is only one partition of type 0xfd in order to show the problem in the simplest form. We first discovered the problem while setting up 6 drives. Each drive had 6 partitions of type 0xfd, but we didn't configure them in Anaconda because we have our own benchmarking scripts to do that afterwards. I tested several variations and they all died if you had an unconfigured 0xfd partition. I finally set all the partitions to typ 0x83 then after the install, changed them all back to 0xfd. I would like it to work the first way though. Ok thank you I understand now. I will forward this issue to a developer. Can you try using the update disk available at http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/73raid.img? If you put that on a separate floppy and boot with 'linux updates', inserting the disk when prompted, it should fix the problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 64734 *** |
