Somehow, partprobe is not available. I have not manage to find out why. RedHat suggests that partprobe is part of the parted-package, and parted is available, but not partprobe. The installation halts just after the %pre-script is done (the repartitioning is the only %pre-script that is run), so it seems that anaconda is somehow not able to pick up the changes. partprobe could have remedied that, I believe, had it been available. -- Thomas H.
