Description of problem: anaconda/pyparted tries to access virtual partition of usb card reader and stuck on it (there's no card in the slots) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): boot.iso from 20090306 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. download boot.iso rawhide 20090306 2. use a pc with two sata disk and a usb/multi card reader internally connected 3. launch install Actual results: error after detecting partition error include File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/parted/device.py", line 48, in __init__ self.__device = _ped.device_get(path) _ped.DeviceException: Could not find device for path /dev/sdc sda and sdb are the two real hard disk dmesg extract gives usb-storage: device scan complete scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access Generic USB SD Reader 1.00 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 scsi 4:0:0:1: Direct-Access Generic USB CF Reader 1.01 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 scsi 4:0:0:2: Direct-Access Generic USB SM Reader 1.02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 scsi 4:0:0:3: Direct-Access Generic USB MS Reader 1.03 PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 sd 4:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 sd 4:0:0:1: [sdd] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 4:0:0:1: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 sd 4:0:0:2: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 4:0:0:2: Attached scsi generic sg5 type 0 sd 4:0:0:3: [sdf] Attached SCSI removable disk sd 4:0:0:3: Attached scsi generic sg6 type 0 There is no card inside the reader Expected results: should be able to install rawhide on a pc with card reader! Additional info: same setup than bug 487976
I removed the card reader and the message disappeared I can now go further in the installation process but I'm stuck by ther unrelated bug 488987
I did another try and replicate it with a recent build and uploaded an automatic trace to bugzilla. It was automatically added to bug 489918, which is a duplicate of bug 488800. So may be they are related.
looks fixed, with anaconda from 20090326 boot.iso. I can go completely through the installation without unplugging my usb card reader.
