Description of problem: I have an Intel based Mac Pro machine with 2 150gb hard drives. The drives were initially partitioned with Apple's Bootcamp to leave 10gb for OSX, and the rest for linux. Within Anaconda I created 2 linux raid partitions: 138gb for / formatted as ext3 2gb for swap The install hangs when I click the Next button after setting up the partitions. I have tried booting off of the live cd and using parted to create the partitions and then re-running the normal install off of the x86_64 dvd with the same problem. If I do the install without putting / on a raidset everything works just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 7 RC 1 X86_64 Dvd How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Start Install 2.Setup Custom Partitions 3.Hang Actual results: Install hangs Expected results: Install completes, smile forms on my face. Additional info:
Moving to 'devel' as discussed on https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2007-March/msg00095.html.
Please try with rawhide or at least F7 test 3. We need /tmp/anaconda.log as well as an anaconda dump file (if the installer is crashing). You mention the installer appears to hang, so there could be some kernel messages that are relevant. Go over to tty4 (Ctrl+Alt+F4) and capture any kernel messages there.
