anaconda traceback

When running liveinst from the Fedora 19 Alpha TC2 KDE Live, I get a traceback immediately upon entering Custom Partitioning and expanding the other OS partitions lists.  (This machine currently has the default partition layout for a brand new Dell laptop, e.g. ESP + NTFS + FAT32 recoverycrap.)

Comment 5 T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-04-11 23:24:59 UTC
Actually, this occurs when I click on the primary NTFS partition of the preinstalled Windows installation.  I had to blow away this partition with parted to get around it and proceed with installation.

Comment 6 T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-04-12 01:27:30 UTC
Sorry, I meant F19 Alpha RC2.

Comment 7 T.C. Hollingsworth 2013-04-13 02:57:52 UTC
Proposing as a Fedora 19 Beta Blocker because it violates criterion 10: "The installer's custom partitioning mode must be capable of the following: Creating, destroying and assigning mount points to partitions of any specified size using most commonly-used filesystem types".

Also proposing as an F19 Alpha Freeze Exception because it's similar to bug 950700 in that it's a custom partitioning issue but one somewhat likely to be hit, assuming it affects all systems with Windows 8 preinstalled.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2013-04-15 16:53:23 UTC
Discussed at 2013-04-15 freeze exception review meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2013-04-15/f19alpha-blocker-review-7.2013-04-15-16.00.log.txt . Rejected as an FE issue: it's quite late at this point and we want to be safe, this patch is as-yet untested and touches partitioning code, so could _theoretically_ break something worse.
