f7t3 anaconda failure

[cornel panceac]

i've searched the list but i haven't found somebody else reporting this, so
here's the bug i've encountered while tryin' to install f7 t3.

the target:

one hard disk (pata) with several partitions, including one valid fc6
install splitted on: /boot, /, /home and swap.
another partition is supposed to be the f7t3 /, and another is supposed to
be the f7t3 /home.

install starts just fine and after spending _a lot_ of time (amd barton
1833) while solving dependecies, right before it was supposed to format
partiions, it prompts to ignore one error or exit. the error states that
(anaconda?) "failed to inform the kernel about changes to /dev/hda5 and
(some garbage)" . whether you choose to ignore the error or choos to exit,
in both cases will exit.

worth mentioning that the partiion table was not suppose to be changed, and
/dev/hda5 is not supposed to be used during the install of f7t3, since is
part of hte existing fc6 install, and is not even mounted.

after reboot, the partiion table is still, there, no partition has been
formatted.

the error shows up on both livecdinstall, or dvd install.

same dvd, used on another machine where all partitions become part of f7t3
(even if one, /home, is not formatted), worked just fine.

unfortunately the machine where install failed, is offline so i report from
memory :)

thnx.
