Created attachment 368148 [details] traceback report Description of problem: This is a subcase of BUG523610 where the disk available for installation is smaller than Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 12.46-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a 2GB volume for use through KVM 2. install fedora on it using a VM with 1G or more of memory allocated 3. select all defaults Actual results: an unhanded exception triggered that abort anaconda Expected results: autopartition works or shows a message to let the user do partitioning manually Additional info: the problem is that when autopartitioning is invoked the setDefaultPartitioning method in installclass.py will request for a root partition of 1GB, one /boot partition (outside of LVM) of 200MB and a swap partition of at least the same size of the memory, without taking into consideration the size of the physical devices available. this will result in a negative value for vg.freeSpace for the main VolGroup which will break when passed to storage/partition.py's growLVM
