What's the exact error message you're seeing?
Comment 2 Ahmed Kamal 2010-04-05 19:02:18 UTC 
Anaconda stops, displays a dialog and wants to exit the installer. Sorry, I cannot memorize the exact message shown, but it was along the lines of "The partition sda8 was detected to be type 'ntfs' while /etc/fstab mentions it is 'ntfs-3g'" Then a very long python stack trace with calls to parse /etc/fstab. I know you probably want more details .. but that's all I have for now
