From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: In the graphical installer after having chosen the language of installation and language of keyboard I'm asked to chose how the partitions will be made. No matter which of the options is selected for the partitioning I get a warning that another partitioning tool "Partition Magic 8.0" has created erroneous partitions and I'm advised to click on "Ignore". After clicking on "Ignore" I get a message for an unhandled exception and after clicking "OK" the machine reboots. Detailed exception message found in attachment. This happens when installing through booting from the RedHat CD. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot on the RedHat CD. 2. Choose graphical installer. 3. Provide information about installation language, keyboard language and mouse type. 4. Choose an installation type("Workstation"). 5. Choose a partitioning option. Actual Results: I got the previously described "Unhandled Exception" error. Expected Results: Continue installing the RedHat Linux v8.0 Additional info: I have two hard disks and tying to install on a primary partition I've made in the beggining of the second hard disk. The swap partition is in the beggining of the other hard disk. I give sufficient space for the installation. The other OS I have installed is Win2000.

Have you tested all your installation CDs?
All CDs were tested and passed the test. But I never needed any other cd except for the first one anyway because the installation never proceeds.
i have seen the same thing with the text installer perfroming an HTTP install. the http server has been used for four other installs prior to this. install was attempted on a machine with software raid 5 partion already setup on scsi drives. by telling install to ignore raid array (install everything on ide drive) i was able to install to operate.
There is code to work around this problem in our current codebase.
I'm going through Bugzilla closing some bugs that have been marked as Modified for some period of time. I believe that most of these issues have been fixed, so I'm resolving these bugs as Rawhide. If the bug you are seeing still exists, please reopen this report and mark it as Reopened.
