A patch fixing this has been posted by pjones: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-January/msg00586.html Assigning to him.
Not in anaconda-13.25 of Feb.4, despite being ACKed on Jan.29: https://www.redhat.com/archives/anaconda-devel-list/2010-January/msg00588.html and I need it again.
Greetings John, looks like the patch didn't get pulled into anaconda-13.25, but will be in the next build. In the meantime, you can confirm the fix by using the updates image located at http://jlaska.fedorapeople.org/updates-560477.img For information on how to use an updates.img, see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Updates.
*** Bug 554483 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I've tested the updates.img noted previously, and not encountered this issue. I'll move this bug to CLOSED RAWHIDE once anaconda-13.27 (or newer) is available for test.
I'm not able to hit this issue using F-13-Alpha-RC2 (anaconda-13.29).
