Description Matthieu Araman 2009-03-01 22:43:55 UTC
Description of problem:
Can't install with latest rawhide.
Can't even do a rescue mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
using boot.iso /cdrom from rawhide 20090227 8h00
Anaconda 11.5.0.23

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot 
2. select install or rescue mode
3. install process launch anaconda 
  
Actual results:
anaconda exit and the system ask for reboot
same thing with normal install or even rescue mode

Expected results:
should run

Additional info:
I could initialy install a system succesfully on this pc with the Fedora 11 alpha dvd x64. 
the pc has two 1To Disk configured with Linux raid in mirroring mode.
partition :
/dev/md0  -> /boot ext3 200MB
/dev/md1 : the reste
/dev/md1 contain :
LVM  
only a part of /dev/md1 is allocated
there are 4 partitions : 
/ (ext4) , /home(ext4) ,/var(ext4) and swap

The Fedora 11 alpha broke after a rawhide update and a reboot.
looks like there was a problem finding md0 or /  

So I tried to reinstall completely with a recent rawhide boot.iso and got stuck by this.

Error message

This is fixed in the current build of pyparted.  Please update your tree and it should be working for you.

Comment 2 Matthieu Araman 2009-03-02 22:18:43 UTC
I can't find a more recent boot.iso in any of the active fedora mirrors.(I think I tried at least 10 different...)
looks like they either don't mirror rawhide, have excluded the images directory or have a low frequency update.
Do you know any mirror really mirroring rawhide with fresh thing ?
In the negative, I will wait for several more days until updated thing reach the mirrors...

Comment 3 Matthieu Araman 2009-03-07 17:19:51 UTC
found a more recent boot.iso from 20090306
I don't knwow if this is fixed as I'm now stuck with another message from pyparted, for which I opened bug 489105
