Comment 1 Jay Turner 2002-03-19 19:37:21 UTC
This is probably related to the partition table re-read bug we were seeing.  Are
you able to replicate with Beta 2?

Comment 2 Sam Varshavchik 2002-03-20 04:54:29 UTC
I reinstalled RH 7.2, and tried to upgrade to beta2.  It worked.



Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2002-03-26 17:31:27 UTC
Deferring to future release.

Comment 4 Red Hat Bugzilla 2006-02-21 18:48:26 UTC
Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated.
