Description pgaltieri 2009-02-07 22:20:52 UTC
Description of problem:
When trying to install to disk from the Live CD I get an error popup indicating it was unable to mount /boot. The error is:

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply

This happens on a Dell Inspiron 8600 Laptop

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F11 i686 Live CD

How reproducible:
Tried 2 times and it occurred both times.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot off Live CD
2.Take defaults
3.Just before it copies image to disk you get the pop up
  
Actual results:
Got unable to mount /boot error message

Expected results:
No error pop up

Additional info:
Clicking the OK button does not make the pop up go away. It does continue to load image to disk.  

After indicating a successful install when I rebooted I got:

mount: could not find filesystem /dev/root

Can you attach /tmp/anaconda.log from when you get this error message to this bug report?  Your fstab might also be helpful.  Thanks.

Created attachment 332842 [details]
install log

Tried the install from live CD and this time it worked.  However I still got the can't mount /boot message.  I have attached the anaconda.log file.

I think this is an interaction with devicekit.  I've got a fix pending, although it may or may not make beta.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.
