patch to skip filesystem setup on live system chroot installs
I rebooted the system that I was using anaconda with, and before I used the patch, the partition information on the boot disk was completely destroyed. Grub failed with an error 22, "no such partition". I had to boot off of a rescue cd and re-create the partition information. I've increased the severity of this bug to high because of the loss of data that could potentially cause big problems for others who might try this. This is not at all a supported path for using anaconda as it exists mainly for the purposes of testing the installer. Unfortunately, it is too late in the cycle to make changes of this magnitude so I'm deferring to a future release. FWIW, though, I've never had this problem when running in rootpath mode myself |
