From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020204 Description of problem: When attempting to create a RAID device in the text installer, changes in the filesystem type gets the installer dump a stack trace and abort. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot installer in `text' mode. 2.Verify that /dev/hda8 and /dev/hdc1 are existing Software R[aid] partitions 3.Choose RAID to create a RAID device out of them 4.Type up-arrow, or down-arrow then up-arrow, or 3 times down-arrow, in the Filesystem type box Actual Results: Just after selecting a mountable filesystem type such as ext2 or ext3 (i.e., not LVM or swap), the installer presumably attempts to verify whether a previously-existing partition is mount-compatible with the selection. In the case of a new RAID device, there's no `oldMount' attribute in the partition object, so it dumps a stack trace: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/textw/partition_text.py", line 201, in fstypeSetCB self.fstypeSet((listbox.current(), entry)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/textw/partition_text.py", line 192, in fstypeSet if self.oldMount: AttributeError: PartitionWindow instance has no attribute 'oldMount' Expected Results: It should check whether self.oldMount exists before accessing it, or this attribute should always be set.

Fixed in beta2.
