Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2002-08-15 16:21:37 UTC 
Bad blocks were found during the check, which caused an exception in anaconda.

I thought the idea of checking for bad blocks is to be able to mark them "offline"  and not use them.
Anaconda should not fail because the block number is "out of bound" ?
