Description of problem:

Hi, I am trying to install the Fedora 15 from KDE live cd, the physical device is recognized but instead of multiple partition all I get is one with ext3.

Output from fdisk -l /dev/sda:

Anaconda shows it as one single ext3 partition - http://i54.tinypic.com/bdqof6.png
Comment 1 David Lehman 2011-06-20 15:45:05 UTC 
There are two bugs here. For one, blkid is telling udev (and anaconda) that the disk contains an ext3 filesystem. If that is not the case, there's a blkid bug (blkid comes from util-linux package). Secondly, it is possible for blkid to detect both a disklabel and another format on a disk. In anaconda-16.8-1 I added code to improve anaconda's handling of such cases. This will be in Fedora 16.

If you need to use that disk to get your system installed, let me know. I can try to provide you with an updates image that should solve the problem.

Hi David, I've tried my second drive and it installed fine. Thank you.
