From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040510 Description of problem: First I installed Fedora cleanly without any problems, but I forgot that I had special partitioning-needs. So when I tried to install again it asked me what I wanted to do. I said that it should erase all old linux-partitions. Either there or the next step it crashed, asked me to insert a floppy and told me to reboot the system. The dump-file is at the url. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core2 dvdiso from the torrent-site. How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info:

Created attachment 100382 [details] anaconda dump on my system (similar but different) I had almost the exact same anaconda crash w/ FC2 gold just now on a Latitude CPx. I have a dual-boot WinXP / FC1, and told the installer to erase all Linux partitions so I could do a fresh FC2 install. Here is my disk layout: Disk /dev/hda: 12.0 GB, 12072517632 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1467 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 764 6136798+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/hda2 765 777 104422+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 778 1402 5020312+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 1403 1467 522112+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 1403 1467 522081 82 Linux swap I am attaching my anaconda dump. It is very similar to the one above, except mine died sanity checking swap instead of /: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py", line 820, in sanityCheckAllRequests swapSize = swapSize + request.getActualSize(self, diskset) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/partRequests.py", line 450, in getActualSize raise RuntimeError, "Checking the size of a partition which hasn't been allocated yet"
I had the same problem (not sure if it was the exact same error, but looks like it.) I had just created 7 RAID1 partitions on each of two drives, assigned them md's, set their mount points, and had about 4 gig left on one drive, so I tried to create a regular ext3 partition (mounted as /tmp2), and it crashed.
