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. As this appears to be an installer bug it would be good if you could test the latest version of Fedora 8, available from: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//rawhide-i386-Live-20070925.torrent so that we can resolve as many of these issues as possible before release. I'm adding a F8 release blocker bug to highlight this issue as well. 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.
Yes, the F8T2 installer solves this problem. Should I close as RAWHIDE or NEXTRELEASE?
