I've committed a fix on Rawhide which doesn't help you much right now. If you can attach your partition table to this bug report, we can probably come up with a workaround for you. You can get your partition table by waiting until the graphical installer has come up, hitting cmd-alt-f2, and running: parted /dev/hda p It's also possible your disk might be /dev/sda, in which case you'd use that instead.
Created attachment 119703 [details] Partition Table This is what popped up when I followed your instructions.

I am not clear on the method required to attach a printout of the partition table to the bug report. How would I get that from an uninstalled system to the one which I use to access the web? I am trying to install FC4 to an Apple powerbook G3, which has two HFS+partitions and one ext3fs. Is the installer capable of writing to an HFS+ partition? My existing systems cannot read ext3fs.
Mark - please try the tree here which has a parted update ftp://zeniv.uk.linux.org/pub/people/dwmw2/fc4-pegasos
To use GOLD FC-4 media arther than that tree. http://people.redhat.com/clumens/mac-parted-update/updates.img Take the updates.img and use dd to write it to a USB key, then use that with "linux updates" at the yaboot boot: prompt. You will need to dd it to the entire device, so make sure you backup whatever may be on the USB drive first. You can dosomething like this: dd if=updates.img of=/dev/sda Replace /dev/sda with the name of your USB key drive, though. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=163263 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=159047
