(after I tried removing old partitions) get warning that drives need formating 4. Exception message appears. Actual Results: Crash. Expected Results: Installation. Additional info: The machine is a HP DL380 with a xeon processor and smart array controller. It has previously had Fedora 7 installed on it (which worked fine). I've tried removing the existing partitions with smart array but get the same error. I'm using the x86_64 download dvd image for fedora 8.
Is this better in F9 Alpha?
I haven't tried F9 yet. I'm afraid I'm away for a week now so won't be able to test that until the 24th.
I have now tied F9, which does not exhibit this error. (I get a different error, much later in the install process, which I will report separately).
