From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2 Description of problem: The installer will crash when it goes to partition the drive. This happens both in the GUI installer and the text based one. I set the partitions to autoconfigure. Sometimes it will just hang, sometimes it gives me the following. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", lin 1160, in ? omtf/run(id, dispatch) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/test.py", line 496, in run dispatch.gotoNext() File "usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 242, in MoveStep rc = apply(finc, self.bindArgs(args)) File "usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 582, in TurnOnFilesystems thefsset.createLogicalVolumes(instPath) File "usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py" line 1477, in createLogicalVolumes entry.device,setupDevice(chroot) File "usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py" line 2131, in setupDevice raise SystemError, "lvcreate failed for %s" %s(self.name,) SystemError:lvcreate failed for LogVol00 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot FC4 DVD in a ThinkPad 600x 2. Do either text or GUI install 3. Choose desktop install 4. Choose default options (including auto-partition) 5. Hit go Actual Results: As soon as you hit go, a small window pops up showing format progress. This move a small ammount and then hang. Sometimes a traceback appears, sometimes it doesn't. Expected Results: It should have formated the drive. Additional info: Perhaps it's the laptop's fault.
