From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-ac4 i686; Nav) Description of problem: The machine currently has slackware installed with all filesystems except '/' on reiserfs. when using diskdruid to assingn the partitions to a filesystem this happened: /dev/hda1 which is ext2 now went ok justs selected the device typed '/' and set filesystem options to reformat it to ext3. the selecting /dev/hda2 as swap, no problems then /dev/hda3 as /var (that currently is reiserfs) you can't enter a mountpoint for it because it's not a "known" filesystem so you have to get to the filesystem options dialog to tell anaconda to reformat it using ext2 or ext3, when you hit enter at the button the installer crashed. all this was done using the text based installer in expert mode and because i don't want to change the on-disk partitions i didn't delete or add any, I just wanted to reassign the existing ones to a filesystem and reformat them to ext3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: oh, please see description Actual Results: Installer crashed Expected Results: Installer popps up with the filesystem options dialaog. Additional info: workaround: remove all on-disk partitions, reboot. create new disk partitions and filesystems so that anaconda doesn't find any reiserfs filesystems.
is there a traceback? if so, save it to a disk and upload it please.

We (Red Hat) really need to fix this defect before next release.
