Should be fixed in newer code.

What are you upgrading from, and what sort of partition layout are you starting out with? I'd be interested to see if this is still happening with fc4test2.
At the time I originally reported the bug I was using a dual boot system with RH8 booted from a floppy boot disk. The partition arrangement was as follows Disk0 sda1 was Win98 "C" fat16 sda2 was win "E" fat16 sda3 was win "F" fat16 Disk1 hda1 was win "D" fat32 hda2 was win "G" fat32 hda3 was win "H" fat32 hda4 was win "I" fat32 hda5 was win "J" fat32 hda6 was RH8 ext3 hda7 was linux swap As I could not get either the FC2 or FC3 magazine disks to upgrade my RH8 installation I have now fitted a third hard drive which alowed me to install as follows: hdb1 WinXP ntfs hdb2 FC3 ext3 Clean Install hdb3 /home ext3 hdb4/5 linux swap I boot this lot from a GRUB boot floppy. I havn't been able to download FC4-test as my broadband link is via a radio and satellite link and usually drops out before I get to the end! I will wait till FC4 apopears on a magazine disk before trying it as I don't want to fry my RH8 OS. Colin
Can you post your hda6's /etc/fstab?
For what it's worth, I don't believe you will get this exception anymore on FC4 because it looks like we're handling the case where root is None. That doesn't mean this will work - you'll just get an error dialog explaining the situation instead of an exception. It's a friendlier error, but still an error.
