Description Adam Pribyl 2008-12-07 08:46:51 UTC
Description of problem:
I had two installation of Fedora on my system. 
1. F9 (x86_64) using partitions without LVM structure, just plain ext3 partitions for boot, home and /.
2. F10 (i686) using a standard installation disk schema with LVM.

From F9 installation I run preupgrade, it downloaded all the necessary packages to /var/cache/yum/preupgrade and modified grub to set up anaconda at the next boot. The setup line in grub was correctly pointing to F9 partitions using UUID identifier. Nevertheless when anaconda started it could not find a preupgrade repo on the disk. I found, it is mounting an LVM partition of second Fedora installation. I did not found any way how to workaround this. The only solution was to delete the LVM partitions from disk table.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
preupgrade-1.0.0-1.fc9.noarch
anaconda from F10-preupgrade install

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create two installations of Fedora - one without LVM, second with LVM
2. Try to upgrade (thru preupgrade) first one - without LVM

  
Actual results:
Anaconda automounts under /mnt/sysimage the installation with LVM, ignoring the options to mount disks with certain UUID.

Expected results:
Anaconda mounts the system that really should be upgraded.
