Description of problem: Anaconda hangs at the "examining device" screen with no feedback and no disk activity or CPU load. The problem may be related to ntfs partitions. After switching to a console and running top I noticed that a mount.ntfs process was running (not using any CPU or stuck in 'D' though). Killing the mount.ntfs process appears to allow the installation to proceed normally Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 14.17.4 How reproducible: Unsure Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create an NTFS partition and add it to /etc/fstab (F13 x86_64) 2. Run pre-upgrade 3. Reboot and choose the upgrade to F14 option Actual results: Anaconda hangs at the 'examining devices" screem Expected results: Installation process should proceed normally, OR the mount process should time out with an error Additional info: The last entry in /tmp/anaconda.log when it was hung was DEBUG anaconda: isys.py:mount()- going to mount /dev/sda4 on /mnt/sysimage/media/data as ntfs with options default
Please attach the log files from /tmp to this bug report so we can see what's going on. Most importantly are /tmp/anaconda.log, /tmp/storage.log, and /tmp/syslog. Thanks.
