Description of problem: While installing RHEL4U1 RC (RHEL4-U1-re0525.0-i386-AS-DVD-ftp.iso), which passes mediacheck correctly, I had a problem while partitioning using disk druid. My system has 3 OSs already installed: - Windows XP (SP2) - Fedora Core 2 (i386) - Fedora Core 2 (x86_64) There are 32Gb of free space left in an extended partition with which I was attempting to carve 8Gb for a RHEL4/i386 install. I selected the free space area from the end of hdb, then chose "New", entered "8192" for size in Mb, and chose "/" as mount point. After hitting "ok" I got a parted assertion dialog on screen, and logged to console which I'll attach a digital picture of in a minute. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Not sure what parted release is in RHEL4-U1-re0525.0-i386-AS-DVD-ftp.iso quite yet... How reproducible: So far, I only attempted it once, however I have not completed the install, so I will attempt to undo what was done and reproduce again. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2 hard disks in machine as hda and hdb. Windows XP SP2 on hda as one massive NTFS partition, unused by Linux at all. 2. hdb is a drive dedicated to my Linux installs, and has 2 Linux installations on it, and 32Gb of free space in an extended partition. 3. Select empty space, select NEW, type in 8192 in size field, and "/" as mount point, hit OK. Actual results: parted Bug assertion, to be attached in digital photo shortly. Expected results: 8Gb partition created with no error. ;o) Additional info: This is an AMD64 Solo system, which I'm doing an i386 install of RHEL4U1 rc on, however I doubt that is related to the problem.
Could you attach the image containing the assertion?
Yes, will do. I took digital pics, but my camera batteries died. Having a few other problems that will delay the pictures for a day or so, but I'll update this when I get a chance. Sorry for the delay.
