Hi Andrew, Could you please attach kickstart you use to reproduce this? Thanks Created attachment 752265 [details]
packages list
I'm attaching the packages section of the kickstart file, which I believe to be the relevant part of it. I could give the rest of the kickstart file if needed, but it has some site-specific stuff like URLs that would make it hard to use directly as-is. But the packages section should be enough to reproduce.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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. Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Anaconda aborted installation with the error, "Could not allocate requested partitions: not enough free space on disk." However, the storage.log had the error, "DEBUG storage: no free partition slots on sda". The error displayed in the dialog ("not enough free space on disk") was misleading. Using the same message found in "storage.log" would be very clear This problem can be reproduced by having a kickstart script define 5 partitions with an MSDOS partition table.
