From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 Description of problem: I dont know if this is anything to do with my SATA controller a Silicon image 3112 or my HDD a Seagate 120GB SATA, once ive done all the setup it gets to formatting the partitions and has a "critical error" and cannot continue install, so the installer exits and the system restarts i use "linux hde" to get into the installer is that correct? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from cd-rom "linux hde" to enter installer 2. setup hardware and partitions in installer 3. click to begin install Actual Results: could not format partition "critical error cannot continue install" Expected Results: installer formats the partitions and continues with install?
Can you look to see if there are any errors on tty4 or tty5?
