Description Adam Williamson 2016-09-24 18:50:13 UTC
Description of problem:
Happened when install partitioning stage was happening on install of Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-Rawhide-20160924.n.0.iso to a disk with existing partitions (chose to wipe them all, in guided partitioning).

Version-Release number of selected component:
anaconda-core-26.4-1.fc26.x86_64

The following was filed automatically by anaconda:

Comment 12 David Lehman 2016-09-26 13:15:24 UTC
Is this somehow different from 1378162?

Comment 13 Adam Williamson 2016-09-26 16:16:20 UTC
Not sure, probably not? This one I actually hit in manual testing, but I didn't do anything specific to trigger it or anything.

Comment 14 Adam Williamson 2016-09-26 16:18:01 UTC
oh, I wasn't using a PATA disk for this one, it would've been VirtIO. Dunno if that makes a difference.

Comment 15 Fedora End Of Life 2017-02-28 10:21:18 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 26 development cycle.
Changing version to '26'.

Comment 16 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:27:43 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is 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  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

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.

Comment 17 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-29 11:40:34 UTC
Fedora 26 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-05-29. Fedora 26
is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
