From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: When doing a fresh install the installer successfully formats the / partition (1.5GB) and the /boot partiotion (23MB) but crashes while formatting the /swap partition (16MB). Dumpfile below. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create/Recreate/Edit partitions outlined above (have tried all 3 of these options with various partition sizes). Druid or fdisk (doesn't matter which, both lead to the same crash) 2. Accept all the defaults in the following steps (i.e format all partitions, MBR, boot linux as default etc) 3. Install all/some/most/a few packages (I've tried all sorts) 4. Wait while it formats the / and /boot partitions 5. Watch it start to format the /swap partition then crash after about 5 seconds. Actual Results: Installer crashed and a dump file was created. Expected Results: Swap file formatted, packages installed etc. Additional info: PC Specs: AMD Thunderbird 1300, Enhanced 3DNow, 128k L1, 256k L2 OnChip, 200MHz System Bus Microstar MS-6330P2 KTPro2 ATX Athlon SktA Motherboard, VIA KT133 394 Mb SDRam, PC-133 Nvidia GeForce2-MX400 AGP 64 Mb Video Card 20GB Seagate ST320423A IDE Hard Drive Liteon DVD 12X / 40X CDROM Drive Anacdump: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__ if todo.doInstall (): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1470, in doInstall self.fstab.turnOnSwap() File "fstab.py", line 408, in turnOnSwap isys.swapon (file) File "isys.py", line 142, in swapon return _isys.swapon (path) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: path: /tmp/swap/hda6 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
