Description of problem: Fedora 14 XFCE Desktop Version CD prompts an error ("Failed to mount "_FEDORA-14-i686-". ") after setting up the partition scheme and writing changes to the partitions to the disk. Although it prompts that error when installing, both the 2 install I did worked fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 14 i386 XFCE Desktop How reproducible: After making the partition scheme ( ( both / and /home with ext4 and a 4G swap partition ) with the installer the Fedora 14 XFCE Desktop version uses to install. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot Fedora 14 XFCE Desktop Version 2. Click at Install to Hard Drive link 3. Make the partition scheme with three partitions: / with 50G ext4, /home 350G ext4 and 4G swap, none of them encrypted, but / with the "Force to be Primary Option" then install. Actual results: The install prompts this: Failed to mount "_FEDORA-14-i686-", but the install works normally. Expected results: Not prompting that error. Additional info:
Looks like something is automounting the just created partitions somehow. If you do a default install (no custom) does the same thing happen?
Using VMware with the same version with default partition scheme ("use all space in the hard drive") it prompts an error saying it failed to mount a partition, but it mounts fine. I've tried installing the KDE version with custom layout as well and it works ok.
Could you possibly get a screenshot of the error? or is it output in a terminal running liveinst?
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
