From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: When running the GUI installation program, I chose to manually partition my hard drive using Disk Druid. The installation aborted with the following messages: Install exited abnormally Sending termination signals ... done <6> md: recovery thread got woken up Sending kill signals .... done Disabling swap Unmounting file systems /mnt/runtime umount failed (16) disabling /dev/loop0 Loop_Clr_Fd failed: 16 /proc/bus/usb done /proc done /dev/pts done I then tried the text-based installation and it worked fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fedora test 3 installation How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:
Did you verify your media using the mediacheck functionality?
Did you verify your media using the mediacheck functionality? Yes, as the first part of the installation process. All three CD's passed.
Hmm, haven't seen this reported elsewhere. What sort of hardware is this on? Can you reproduce it?
The system is a Gateway P3 700. I haven't tried to reproduce it, and in fact reported it simply as a matter of record in the event that it happened to someone else. Quite frankly, if I am the only case of it occurring, it would hardly seem worthwhile trying to figuring out what caused it. OTOH, if it occurs several times, then I would want it looked into.
Could you boot into the installer and just get to the partitioning screen and hit manually partition? No changes will take effect up to that point and it will at least let me know if it's reproducible on your hardware or if it's more likely to just be weird hardware bogon.
AS you requested, I tried another install, and it worked up to the point where I aborted it. This was at the format disk stage. So this problem may have been a one-time thing, and I would suggest closing it. BFD
