Description of problem: When checking partition information during fresh install of FC4 onto iBook G3 600, many error windows pop up reporting: The partitions data region doesn't occupy the entire partition Options are to ignore or cancel so I hit ignore. After about 5-6 of these dialogs the next error comes up: Attempt to read sectors 16-18 outside of partition on /dev/hda This has the same options and pops back up about 5-6 times. Then I am allowed to go to the next stage of anaconda such as whether to automatically partition or customize. Then the errors start all over again. Seems to happen each time it tries to read the partition info. These errors do not occur using FC4 Test 3 DVD for ppc so they were introduced sometime between then and now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rawhide-20050517
Can you boot up the FC4 test 3 DVD, drop to the command line on tty2 and run: parted /dev/hda print Can you also run the same thing on rawhide and post what you're seeing?
FC4 Test3 DVD: parted /dev/hda print Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-28615.781 megabytes Disk label type: mac Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags 1 0.000 0.031 Apple 2 0.031 1.031 hfs untitled boot 4 1.031 101.031 ext3 untitled 3 128.031 14307.921 hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 5 14307.922 14819.921 linux-swap swap swap 6 14819.922 28515.781 ext3 untitled rawhide-20050518: parted /dev/hda print Disk geometry for /dev/hda: 0.000-28615.781 megabytes Disk label type: mac Minor Start End Filesystem Name Flags 1 0.000 0.031 Apple 2 0.031 1.031 hfs untitled boot 4 1.031 101.031 ext3 untitled 3 128.031 14307.921 hfs+ Apple_HFS_Untitled_1 5 14307.922 14819.921 linux-swap swap swap 6 14819.922 28515.781 ext3 untitled So no difference that I can see between the two. And as luck would have it, i just tried to actually install the rawhide-210050518 tree and the partition errors have disappeared. So bum build with 20050517 I suppose. Closing as NOTABUG.
