The Partitioning-tool on the installer on the LiveCD 2006.1 crashes all other Partitions when selecting a JFS-Partition to format. In my case he crashes a NTFS-Partition (Pri-1)of my Windows-Installation on the same S-ATA Harddisk (a single Disk in System). The Formatting of the other Linux-Partitions (Pri-2 to Pri-4) doesnt seems to work.
Uhh, what? Can you attach the /var/log/install.log.failed and /tmp/installprofile.xml from the failed install?
i'm sorry, but i cant attach it, i rebootet the machine in panic, and the harddisk was pretty plain after that try. You see the Problem on the graphical Partitioner bevor write down the Partitons to Harddisk - in the moment you create Pri-4 and select to format it with JFS, the whole Partitions optical "goes away"...
Created attachment 97637 [details] installprofile.xml & installer.log.failed I have experienced similar behavior from the gtk installer yesterday! At the partition-tab I chose mount points and forgot to select which partitions I wanted to format. Also I did touch the resize slider on the /boot partition, but set it back to the default state afterwards, I think. The result: Installer crashes and 7 partitions are gone. Did manage to restore the partition table with the application testdisk! I have attached the "installprofile.xml" and "installer.log.failed" files as requested.
I'm now shure the Problem at GTK-Installer is on the AMD64 (my 1st fault) and also at the X86-Version of the Installer-ISO 2006.1 (my 2nd fault two days ago). Again the Installer crashes 4 Partitions out of my Disk. I'm happy to do this on my Test-Machine this time.. imho: If you choose to change any thing (Format-Option, Size, Mountpoint) of the created Partition, you can (in my case everytime) crash your Partitiontable.
I'm not sure how to actually fix this problem, so I'm not going to. I've added a big warning message that displays when the partitioning screen loads.
