From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.15 i686) I tried upgrading my RH 7.0. It's a SCSI only system (using the old aic7xxx module thanks to rawhide). It has two SCSI disks (sda, sdb). Sdb1 is currently not used (not refered to in /etc/fstab). It was supposed to be a spare root partition for recovery purposes, but it's not usable at the moment - mount doesn't like it - but so what. Anaconda should label partitions it can't recognize as 'unknown', not pop up an error message about sdb1 being invalid and not be able to continue. On one of the consoles the error was reported as "VFS Can't find an ext2 filesystem on sd(8,17)". Again, that observation is correct, but why get hung up on it? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.have an invalid filesystem on a linux partition 2.run fisher anaconda install 3.click to acknowledge the error pop-up when it appears Actual Results: a blank screen in the graphical install instead of what ever should have been the next step
Please try the recent Wolverine beta release and report your results.
I tried Wolverine as requested. I still get the popup "Error mounting ext2 filesystem on sdb1: Invalid argument" and the reported error message on console 4, but now after acknowledging the error, the install proceeds normally to the Upgrade examine screen. Thanks. Willem Riede.
