Anacondas balkan falls through in NTFS-patrition detection, which causes NTFS-partitions to be detected as EXT2. This in turn breaks the install in upgradeFindRoot, causing a jammed upgrade. Fix by adding the missing 'break' statement into .../misc/src/anaconda/balkan/dos.c line #142 (I think! :). ------- Additional Comments From 10/05/99 06:19 ------- I can confirm this problem (hda1 is NTFS, anaconda stops and hangs there while searching my root fs for upgrading).
Here is a patch, which should apply to bugs 5507, 5555, 5563, 5552 and 5567 (making changes to several of these at once didn't work). A break statement is missing after detecting a NTFS-partition, thus identifying it as an EXT2FS-partition. --- /mnt/cdrom/misc/src/anaconda/balkan/dos.c Sat Sep 11 17:47:28 1999 +++ dos.c Tue Oct 5 13:34:16 1999 @@ -139,6 +139,7 @@ case 0x7: table->parts[i].type = BALKAN_PART_NTFS; + break; case 0x83: table->parts[i].type = BALKAN_PART_EXT2; ------- Additional Comments From 10/05/99 08:48 ------- I just run into the same bug on the 6.1 Cartman. hda1 is NTFS, install stops, complains something like no ext2fs on hda1, and hangs. Also, seen on colleagues machine: hda1 was an old swap partition, install (Cartman) complained of lack of space, and kept trying to format the / partition... Sorry, no precise details on this.
