From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.5-9 i686; en-US; rv:0.9.1) Gecko/20010609 Description of problem: When i tried to install the beta1 i forgot to reformat my / partition. When i got to the final installation i was informed that i hadn't sufficent space on that partition (which was true as it still contained my old stuff). So i hit the back button until i came back to the disk druid page, selected / to be formated and wanted to continue from there, but when i came to the bootloader selection page the 'Next' button was disabled so i had to reboot the machine. I tried to go back right to the first screen to see if that would help, but no go either... How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run installation 2.Do not format / on a previously used and pretty full / partition 3.Continue until you get the / partition too full during package installation 4. Go back to the disk druid page and select / to be formated 5. Try to go beyond the bootloader page Actual Results: Installation was not possible anymore due to disabled 'Next' button. Expected Results: The 'Next' button on the bootloader screen should not have been disabled. Additional info:
I think we've fixed this - please retest when beta 2 comes out.
This may be similar to the fix.. or addition test case. I was told by installer that I didnt have enough disk space. I think I hit OK and the installer started going (I misread the error message I think and thought OK meant to fix the problem.) Then the installer cracked up with a message at the top that was only half printed (I think the rest was scrolled off and any button was not visible.) I switched to ALT-F3 or ALT-F4 and got the following message The kernel was unable to re-read the partition table on /tmp/hda (Device or resource busy) Please reboot in order to .... (usual message) 32 the 32 was the last thing the installer would do.. so I had to reboot.
Please retest with beta 2 - if it works please close the bug as 'RAWHIDE'.
This defect considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax gold-release.
