Description of problem: When installing FC7, I had a disk partition with 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition. After the last (primary) partition there was a lot of free space. I didn't at first realize that I had in effect the maximum number of partitions, so I pointed to this free space when choosing mount points and designated it as a new partition (ext3). When I entered "OK" however, in stead of a remark, that the disk already had the maximum number of (primary or extended) partitions, Anaconda crashed. I repeated this, when I had found what the problem was: the crash is repeatable. When I deleted one of the primary partitions I could designate the free space fine. From that point on I could continue the install without problems. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): It is Anaconda from the DVD for installing FC7 on a x86_64 system. The disk brand is (I guess) unimportant. How reproducible: Have a disk with 4 primary partitions or (as in my case) 3 primary partitions plus one extended partition -- plus enough free space following the last primary partition. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC7 2. Choose custom adapting the partitions 3. keep all primary and extended partition and designate the free space as a new partition. Actual results: Anaconda crashes with a bugtrace. Expected results: Anaconda remarks on the maximum number of primary or extended partitions. Possibly some extra verbal explanation using an example or something like that. Not a crash. Additional info: None.
Can you provide the dump you received?
No, at the time I had no medium to save the dump on. Also, I can not recreate the situation without changing my harddisk. Is there anyone else who could recreate the situation using a spare harddisk?
This appears fixed in rawhide.
