Created attachment 396328 [details]
Attached traceback automatically from anaconda.
Comment 2 Adam Williamson 2010-02-25 16:51:02 UTC 
this comes at the end of the live install process (after 'making post-install changes to file systems' or whatever it's called), when using dlehman's swap.py fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=567840 .
Comment 3 David Lehman 2010-02-25 19:04:41 UTC 
Patch for 567840 revised to prevent this failure as well.
Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2010-02-27 01:21:00 UTC 
confirmed, works in alpha rc4.
