I did a TUI install on my laptop: Custom -> ddruid -> del all partitions on hda -> added hda1 196MB swap, hda2 3G ext3 -> error formating hd2 I looked at the console and found: mke2fs 1.22: not enough space to build proposed filesystem while setting up superblock I rebboted, left the previously made partitions unchanged and then it worked. So I guess that anaconda did not reread the partition table correctly.
