Please attach the complete traceback to this bug report.

Comment 4 Bill Burns 2010-05-21 20:04:22 UTC
Cannot, it was on a graphic console, my laptop screen, no way to capture it. And it was newline challenged, a real mess. It is easily reproducible.

Comment 5 Bill Burns 2010-05-21 20:07:00 UTC
I should note it was on a t60 and was an x86_64 install.

Comment 6 Chris Lumens 2010-05-21 20:59:21 UTC
You can't take a picture and attach that?  Or switch to tty2 and grab /tmp/anaconda-tb-*?  What's easily reproducible for you is not necessarily easily reproducible for anyone else, as we don't have your exact hardware and preexisting partitioning configuration available.

Comment 7 Bill Burns 2010-05-24 02:12:43 UTC
Well it's my laptop and I need it. If you have tried it and it works, let me know and I will see what I can do.

Comment 8 Bill Burns 2010-05-24 17:44:14 UTC
closing as a dup...
