I was unable to upgrade a ppc64 machine from FC5 to FC6 until I reformatted the swap partition for 64KiB pages.
Which tree was this with I commited a fix to this a while back?
The contents of images/ are dated September 28th. anaconda-11.1.0.101-1.ppc.rpm
It may be relevant that was unable to mount the swap partition unless I formatted it with 'mkswap -v1': pmac /home/dwmw2 # mkswap /dev/sda4 Setting up swapspace version 0, size = 2147418 kB pmac /home/dwmw2 # swapon /dev/sda4 swapon: /dev/sda4: Invalid argument pmac /home/dwmw2 # mkswap -v1 /dev/sda4 Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 2147418 kB pmac /home/dwmw2 # swapon /dev/sda4 pmac /home/dwmw2 #
AFAICT, formatSwap() will only format partitions which weren't already formatted.
HTTP install as of FEB 8th Many py warning as anaconda started. But it came up. Created a /boot on hda6 and an LVM on hda7 for /, home, swap Formating , errored out. Dump shows mkswap file not found. Dump to Floppy disk - nothing was written. Second attemp - because I was doing a custom selection trying for a semi workstation with compiling environment. Before starting I used FC6 LVM tool to format the partitions and lv's. The Tool again showed a previous bug contition about -32 MB for max VG and said it had to be removed (in FC7 later during install). When swap LV was created there was no format for or swap type only none or ext3, ext2. So I used FC6 swap (later during install). Looked like it got farther but dumped much more data. Dump to Floppy disk but there was no data written. Darwin
