Description Nicola Ricciarelli 2008-04-22 09:52:56 UTC
Description of problem:
I'm installing the Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD, I had another linux distro and
replacing it. The destination hd was good partitioned (a hdb1 = 2Gb (swap),
hdb2= 30GB (/) and hdb3,hdb4 dividing the rest of the free space.
Installing Fedora graphically all such partitions results unabailable:  it
furnish me just    hdb1:   /boot   (200Mb)    and hdb2:  the rest of free space
on the hd. It sounded me unusual and I've repeated the installation for 4-5
times but still this unusual disk partitions detection.
I've than repeated the installation, this time using the text mode .. this way
it detects existing partitions good.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-9-Preview-i386-DVD
anaconda 11.40-73

2.choosing the text mode installation all existing partitions are showed correctly
3.
