I downloaded the F9 alpha dvd iso and tried to install to a spare partition on a laptop which already has an F8 installation on it. Anaconda started up and asked for the usual keyboard etc settings, but as soon as I had defined the HD directory for the HD install anaconda threw an exception and the install hung with anaconda findExistingRootPartitions errors. I could not save the traceback, nor copy out the stuff on the screen, so could not sensibly put in a bugzilla report. Can anyone shed any light on this or seen anything similar happen? I also tried an install using the boot.iso and extracting the vmlinuz and initrd.img to /boot and making a grub entry so that a URL install to a mirror could be tried but this failed also - and did not even get to downloading the second stage install file. The kickstart file was obtained from one of the mirrors and modified. Does anyone have a pointer to a procedure for setting up an install from either method so that a rawhide install might proceed to an unused partition on the HD and then the intention is to not write grub to the MBR but to the /1 partition and then chainload the install from the pre-existing grub entry for f8. If this sounds a wrong way to go about this please post, and suggest a better method. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
