Description of problem: I somehow had an entry in /etc/fstab for /dev/sda2 -> /media/ipod and when I tried to upgrade from FC4 -> FC5test3, the installation process exited because /dev/sda2 didn't exist. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5test3 anaconda How reproducible: Always (?) Actual results: Installation exited. Expected results: Installation does not exit. Additional info:
What exactly was the line in /etc/fstab?

You really probably also want something like noauto in the options. We'll try to clean up this handling some for FC6
Chris -- note the trickiness in that someone could have, eg, /usr not show up and we really don't want to do the upgrade then. Which is why we've kept to the behavior we currently have.
We should be doing a better job with this in FC6. It should now catch error on non-Linux filesystems and display a warning dialog. You can then choose to ignore the warning and upgrade without mounting, or reboot.
