Description Hezekiah M. Carty 2009-03-31 22:03:29 UTC 
Created attachment 337413 [details]
Anaconda log file (/tmp/anaconda.log)

Description of problem:
I tried to install F11beta with / on /dev/sda2.  Since I have only one partition for this, I tried to format / as ext3.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
F11beta

How reproducible:
Every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot F11beta livecd (Gnome)
2. Start installer, selecting ext3 for /
3. Install proceeds, then fails at the end because / was formatted ext4 rather than ext3
  
Actual results:
Incomplete installation

Expected results:
Complete installation

Additional info:
Two bugs with other details that may be useful: #492727 and #493139
Comment 1 Jesse Keating 2009-03-31 22:24:37 UTC 
Due to the way that live installs work, you get the filesystem that the live image itself is, which in F11's case, ext4.  The UI should make this more obvious though.
Comment 2 Hezekiah M. Carty 2009-04-01 00:42:08 UTC 
Dies this mean that it is impossible to install the beta from the LiveCD without a separate /boot partition?
Comment 3 Jesse Keating 2009-04-01 06:02:18 UTC 
That would be my assumption.
Comment 4 Jeremy Katz 2009-04-01 20:09:13 UTC 
Correct, you'll need a /boot to do an install from livecd.
