I tried to install Gentoo(with GLI). I have partition which has HFS+ filesystem(OSx86). As it seems to me from error reports it seems like the filesystem is not specified in installer or the installer can't edit it(remove,resize...). For some reason I don't have /tmp/installprofile.xml (probebly because it generates at the end of installation). My /var/log/installer.log seems useless to me, but probebly it's a big help for you. :) -----/var/log/installer.log----- GLI: December 23 2005 22:36:02 - Setting root password.

I'm testing Mac OS X on my x86 and it uses HFS+ filesystem. That's what causing the problem... Best Regards, Sergey Anufrienko. (P.S. Marry Christmas everyone :) )

Unfortunately, I'm not even going to attempt to start supporting HFS[+] until I fix up the partitioning code to work with Apple partition tables. This is on my very long list of things to do, but it isn't quite at the top. While adding 'hfs+' to the partition list in gtkfe and assigning it a color would get you past that particular point, I won't add it until it's actually supported by the backend.
I would greatly appreciate if you would give me for a wild a tiny hint :) Thanks for the fast reply :) SerJ.
If you know any python, you can probably read the traceback. The traceback tells you all you need to know to "fix" it.
Well I don't know Python but I will mess with it little :)
I'm sorry if I'm anooying you... :( I have found file and nicely placed arrays... But because it's live cd it's ofcorse read-only so what should i do make change and reborn cd? And is there any other way?
Yeah, wait for me to add proper HFS support :)
Finally, I have found my way around :) I copied /opt/installer to /mnt/gentoo/ And I guess /mnt/gentoo is tmpfs or something...(forgot) So I changed it and it worked I will try to install tomorow, because wanna get some sleep :) Thanks for huge help Andrew. If I can help you guys somehow just tell :) I'm curently learning/know C and PHP probebly I can help your project somehow :) Thanks again. SerJ.
Moving to Release Media/Installer.
