Can anyone describe the disk layout they had before starting the installation and what you were trying to resize to once you were in the installer? I'm looking at some of the attached log files and see one system that had: ~100M ext3 on /dev/sda1 ~20G ext3 on /dev/sda2 ~2G swap on /dev/sda3 remainder jfs on /dev/sda4 I am wanting to reproduce this problem locally, but can't seem to create a partition layout that will do it.
Per request of Mssr. Cantrell: From perusing the log files I submitted, I see that my dump came from when I was trying to upgrade my Myth box from a distribution *before* Fedora 10. Most likely it was Fedora 9. The box has a single 300Gb drive. However, I was almost certainly following the dicta at: http://mythtv.org/wiki/Installing_MythTV_on_Fedora because I was too lazy to explore the reasoning behind them. I don't recall why I was resizing instead of simply wiping and reinstalling, but apparently, I eventually did the latter, because Myth is now installed and working.
Cannot reproduce with latest rawhide.
