> Just by looking at the error I can tell you that this is a parted bug. Mind you, I have not read the whole story (so I could be wrong), but I'll bet you that this is related to 441244, which is fixed for 5.3. > [Manish] Thanks for the bug # Joel. I'd guessed the same. Parted 1.8.8 is out and part of fedora distro now, which works without a crash. > If you can't wait until then, you could try > 1. Partitioning it in Fedora and just using existing partitions. > 2. If that doesn't work, partition it in Fedora, installing somewhere > else and cloning manually. Tedious, doesn't scale well, but works (and > good practice for when you have to install i bigger and/or newer disk). > 3. Add a new drive and try the simple case with that. > [Manish] John I tried, - With Fedora : FC7 failed, same err. FC9 worked (same err, no crash). - Using partitioning from other distro (/liveCD) doesn't work, the error persists. - Interestingly, Centos installation worked correctly, on another disc where i replicated the same partition-table. As I need Centos only with no time to wait, I am trying to spin a custom dvd - Centos5.2 with latest anaconda/parted. That should work (hopefully).
