Description of problem:Anaconda reports the following: "An unhandled exception hass occurred. This is most likely a bug. Please copy the full text of this exception or save the crash dump to a floppy then file a detailed bug report against anaconda at .... The last few lines of the text are: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 594, in readJFSLabel label=readJFSLabel_int("/tmp/disk") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 582, in readJFSLabel_int os.lseek(fd, 32768, 0) OSError:[Errno 22] Invalid argument ============= Went back and tried FC3 Test2 CDs and the probem does not occure. Sorry, I did not keep a copy of FC3 Test3 CDs to try them. ============= Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 3 release from iso CDs How reproducible: Run an installation and specify to remove all particians on hda, leaving the rest of the disk drives untouched. Crash occures after formating the root file system and the /boot file system. Reproducable whether a swap partician is asked to be created or not. Also reproducable whether hda is allowed to be in the default volume group 00 or if all that is gotten rid of and the 3 particians are specified directly on hda (that is /, /boot, and swap). Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot from FC3 CD 1 2.Select a new install 3.Select to remove all particians on hda Actual results: "an unhandled exception has occurred." Expected results: Additional info:
The problem seems to be with MD disk arrays. I had created 2 md raid 0 (striped arrays) (not LVM) when I installed FC3 Test2. I deselected these from being reformated when I was trying to clean install of the FC3 release version. I physically disconnected the drives involved in the arrays (one was a pair of SCSI disks, and the other a pair of ata133 disks), and the installation went fine. Of course I will have to go back and manually add the disk arrays. Thus, I think the problem has something to do with the pre-existing md raid 0 devices.
