Description of problem:
When selecting to partion a disk automatically or using the DiskDruid I get a 
python dump.
If selecting to partion a disk using fdisk, I define a partion layout, but when 
selection <next> to proceed with the installation, I get a python dump.

I have hardware raid - 3ware escalade storage switch.

The 3w-xxxx device dirvers are installed okay.
There are 2 raids defined:

1. 2x 40gbyte mirrored raid - /dev/sda
2. 10x 180Gbyte raid 5 - /dev/sdb

Current /boot is on /dev/sda1
The rest of the filesystem is on /dev/sdb

RedHat 7.3 is running on this installation.

I want to create a RH 7.3 installation using the mirrored raid only (/dev/sda) 
leaving /dev/sdb free.

However I keep keeing the above python dumps when trying to run the installer.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Many thanks.

2.selct to partion a disk using disk druid - or
3.select to partion a disk using fdisk, save the new partion layout and then 
selcect <next> to proceed with the installation
	

Actual Results:  Get a python dump.

This issue is fixed in Red Hat Linux 8.0.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-11-20 15:14:33 UTC
Are there any patches for 7.3?
