Installation fails with partition scheme
Last modified: 2009-05-29 11:02:02 EDT
Created attachment 340776 [details] Tty3 screenprint Description of problem: Anaconda fails installing rawhide when a certain partitioning scheme is already on the harddisks Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Anaconda 11.5.0.46 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: I start with a system that has the following partitioning on the disks: Device Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 130 1044193+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb1 1 24792 199141708+ 8e Linux LVM I do a installation booting with pxe and boot parameters "text nomodeset". After formatting is complete the following error occurs: An error occurered mounting device /dev/sda1 as /boot: mount failed: (2, None). This is a fatal error and the install cannot continue. On tty2 I can see that anaconda has altered the partitioning scheme. In attach a screen print from tty3.
*** Bug 497189 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
With anaconda-11.5.0.48 I still get this error, but after every installation run anaconda adds an extra boot partition on drive /dev/sda although I asked to "replace existing linux system". When I wipe out the LVM partition on /dev/sdb this error does not occure.
We had a variety of (2, None) related bugs during this release cycle but I believe they are all solved by now. Thanks for the bug report.
