Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug and will try and assist you in resolving it if I can. There hasn't been much activity on this bug for a while. Could you tell me if you are still having problems with the latest kernel? If the problem no longer exists then please close this bug or I'll do so in a few days if there is no additional information lodged. Cheers Chris
Given this is an issue with the Fedora 7 installer and there has been no update on this bug for three months, I am closing WONTFIX. You may wish to test with a fedora unity re-spin: http://spins.fedoraunity.org/spins which resolves a number of installer bugs. Thank you for taking the time to file the initial bug.
