Comment 2 Colin Leavett-Brown 2009-05-15 04:58:16 UTC
Auto-anaconda trace occurred after the following:
1. Booted from F11 Beta installation DVD.
2. Selected option #1, Graphical Installation.
3. Language: US English.
4. Keyboard: US English.
5. Finding Storage Device..... (several minutes).
6. Warning: Error processing drive fd0. Maybe it needs to be re-initialized. YOU WILL LOOSE ALL DATA ON THIS DRIVE. Ignore Drive or Re-initialize Drive? Reinitialize chosen.
7. Exception occurred and bug filed.
8. Subsequently rebooted using the Live CD using same hardware configuration. Ran "lshal >/media/disk/lshal" and will attach the results next.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2009-05-15 12:25:46 UTC
This is fixed after the beta, which is really quite old at this point.  We've done a ton of partition-related fixes since then.
