Comment 2 David Lam 2010-04-17 04:13:43 UTC
What I was doing:


Was trying to install Fedora in free space of a 1.5TB drive where there's a 700GB ntfs partiton and a 200GB fat partition.

On my initial attempt, I went through the installation screens until the page with the 'Review Partitioning Scheme' checkbox.  There, I checked off the box and selected to install into free space from the select box at the top, but after I hit Next the installer seemed to stall.  

So after 15 minutes I guess I got impatient and I decided to just reboot and try the installer again.  And *I think* when I clicked the next button to get to the page with the 'Review Parition Scheme' checkbox again  is when I got the exception.

Hmmm, ok I think my install failed when I choose the 'Install in free space' and 'Replace existing linux system' options from the box,  but it seems to be working after choosing 'Create custom layout'

After looking long and hard at your logs, I believe this is a duplicate of bug 567576.
