From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 Description of problem: When upgrading from RH9, the FC2 installer fails and reports that it cannot mount /home on /dev/sda15: File or directory not found. The problem lies in that /dev/sda15 is not defined so anaconda cannot use it to mount the home directory. My temporary workaround was to comment out the partition relating to /dev/sda15 from /etc/fstab, then do the upgrade and finally restore /etc/fstab. That worked well for /home but this obviously would not be possible if something more useful was on /dev/sda15. I have replicated this bug in FC1 too and as I can't find a bug report I figure I must be the only crazy idiot with 15 partitions on a disc! :-) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): N/A How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have RH9 system with 15 partitions on /dev/sda 2. Run FC1 installer and choose upgrade Additional info:
The kernel doesn't allow having more than 14 partitions on a SCSI disk due to the allocated minors for each disk.
