Created attachment 409165 [details] anaconda crash dump Description of problem: When installing Fedora 13 Beta Anaconda crashed during partitioning and generated the attached crash dump. I'm not able to check from the dump whether this issue has been reported already before or not.
It should be mentioned that after the crash I manually created the partitions and the next installation finished normally.
anaconda 13.37.2 exception report Traceback (most recent call first): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devices.py", line 607, in setup raise DeviceError("device has not been created", self.name) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/deviceaction.py", line 264, in execute self.device.setup() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/devicetree.py", line 672, in processActions action.execute(intf=self.intf) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/storage/__init__.py", line 290, in doIt self.devicetree.processActions() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 109, in turnOnFilesystems anaconda.storage.doIt() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 205, in moveStep rc = stepFunc(self.anaconda) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 126, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1313, in nextClicked self.anaconda.dispatch.gotoNext() DeviceError: ('device has not been created', 'sda3')
Can you explain what you were trying to do during partitioning? Is RAID involved at all?

I have a laptop with two Windows related partitions and before installation attempt I had /boot, swap and / and I was from the installer GUI deleting those three partitions and trying to create two new primary partitions, swap and /. After the installer crashed I created those partitions by hand with fdisk and on the next attempt the installer managed to format them. fdisk -l now gives: root@localhost:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 100.0 GB, 100030242816 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 12161 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0xa1dfa2ed Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 383 3076416 12 Compaq diagnostics /dev/sda2 384 10870 84236827+ 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sda3 10871 11003 1068322+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris /dev/sda4 * 11004 12161 9301635 83 Linux When I used fdisk few megabytes were shown as unallocated/free space by the installer during the second attempt but when the installer was trying to do partitioning all the space was used (so fdisk and anaconda create slightly different kind of partition layout). Thanks.
Looking at the log, this is caused by to aggressive pruning of device actions, which is fixed by this commit: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=anaconda.git;a=commitdiff;h=f420bf4f8d90af943be970dca37e72b6a1682c89 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 583290 ***
