Description of problem: Anaconda fails to initialize swap and drops the install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora8 T-2 How reproducible: Boot from Gnome Live CD and begin 'custom' install. There are two 80-gig HD's with install replacing T-1 on sda1, while swap is on sdb6. Partitions are: sda1 - 18 gig Fedora8-T1 sda2 - 18 gig Linux Mint sda3 - 18 gig open balance of drive 'extended' & open sdb1 - 15 gig Ubuntu sdb2 - 20 gig Fedora7 sdb3 - 20 gig SAM linux sdb4 - extended sdb5 - 20 gig Debian sdb6 - 1034meg swap Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Live CD 2. Select Install From CD 3. Actual results: Failure due to swap (yes, I've tried formatting it as part of the setup and it's recognized every time) Expected results: Normal install as happened with T-1 and prior versions of Fedora (all set up as ext3). Additional info:
Fixed post-test2. Run swapoff before the install for test2 (and noted in the release notes for test2)
