Hm, are we unmounting the image correctly in these cases? Looks like we are, and I haven't seen this (and I have tried with bad floppies). Do you get any error messages on tty4? Reproduced (badblocks shows bad blocks from sector 8 or 12, not from the first) on a very minimal install (minimal and then deselect all packages in individual package selection) using Czech language. No errors anywhere, except for a dump of 3 lines (blocks for kernel, initrd,... IIRC). These lines get added every time, but the floppy head just moves a few times and creation immediately fails. This should be happier with the changes to mkbootdisk and the rest of the boot disk creation code. I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified for some period of time. I believe that most of these issues have been fixed, so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide. If the bug you are seeing still exists, please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened. |
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda-8.0.92-8 How Reproducible: haven't tried from 1., but did from .2 Steps to Reproduce: 1.When asked to create a boot diskette, insert one with bad blocks 2.Replace it with a good diskette 3.Try again Actual results: After an error box about creation of the diskette (with very general message and no error output on any of the VTs AFAICS, by the way), all subsequent attempts to create a boot diskette fail almost immediately (just about half a second of floppy head seeking).
