This is with Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso (final) on a USB drive Installing to an eee 1000 which has two internal flash drives /dev/sda - 8 gig /dev/sdb - 32 gig I partitioned as /dev/sda1 - 200 megs - /boot - ext2 /dev/sda2 - rest - / - ext2 /dev/sdb1 - 2100 megs - swap /dev/sdb2 - rest - /home - ext2 This traceback resulted when it was doing the swap step on /dev/sdb1 I was eventually able to install by repeating an install later with only /dev/sda installed to, partitioned as above (/boot and /, no swap) and then manually creating the /dev/sdb partitions and moving things around after the install

491529 claims a fix in anaconda 11.5.0.37-1 I got this bug in anaconda 11.5.0.59-1 ?
Have you seen this behavior in Fedora 12?
Yes
(In reply to comment #5) > Yes Please attach the logs from the F12 occurrence. Thanks. This is not a duplicate of 491529. Completely different. Here's the error, from syslog: <4>Swap area shorter than signature indicates So we wrote the partition, created the swap space, and somehow its size seems to have changed between then and when we try to activate the swap.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
