Description of problem: With the x68_64 iso of RC3 (from the torrents page) installing to hard disk from the live image fails at the end. A cut and paste of the Exception is below. Oh, no, it isn't below. I am sitting here looking at the Exception dialogue box from Anaconda which for some reason I am unable to copy and paste from - how ridiculous. I have the ability to copy the log to a remote host (which actually with my current setup is about as useful as an arsehole on my elbow), but I can't copy and paste. A great big WTF to that. If I can somehow get this log into this bug report I will add it in a subsequent comment. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
OK, managed to get the dialogue box to allow me to select the text by typing a junk host in the copy to remote host dialogue. Log is below, but seriously, you need to think about that pointless save to remote host option - really unuseful. A "report to bugzilla" button would be a lot more use.

ps. Apologies for the unecessary bitching about cut and paste - I realize my tone was unecessarily harsh.
Additionally, while running from the RC3 live image, if I do a yum update to pull in an updated anaconda (anaconda-11.3.0.50-2) I don't even get to the point which triggered the above error, but rather at the point of trying to format partitions I get a dialogue box saying "An error occurred trying to format sda1. This problem is serious, and the install cannot continue." No more detail than that, I am afraid.
Some additional commentary about what I was doing (or trying to do). This is a machine which had an F-7 installation. It has the single hard disk split into 4 primary partitions, with one of them being used for the /home mount point. On installation of the F8 image, I was deleting 3 of the partitions and recreating them (sda1, sda2, sda3) for the /boot, / and swap partitions respectively, and leaving mounting sda4 (unformatted) at /home. Not sure if this detail is relevant, but what may be relevant is that I wasn't allowing anaconda to create a standard partition layout, but rather was using a custom disk partition layout.
Hm. Bizarrely, I rebooted the computer into the F8 RC3 live image, and re-tried the installation exactly as before, and this time it has succeeded. Some sort of race condition then, perhaps.
The only way this could happen is if the file isn't there or if there were a disc error. It's conceivable that there was an error while copying over the filesystem I guess. I'm not really sure what we can do for spurious cases like that... maybe we need to add a checksum of the filesystem and verify it after copying :-/

If I see a failure like this again, I'll dig a bit more.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Never seen again during F-8 or F-9 lifetime, closing NEXTRELEASE
