I do not have a choice but to use /dev/mapper as anaconda determined this and it is not the case. It is a bug. I tried to wipe the disks with fdisk, reboot and contune another install, but Anaconda still only shows /dev/mapper. > A segfault is most likely caused by flakey memory or specifying the > "Use other repo" during the package selection phase of the install. > Don't use it. > Although true, it is not relevant here. This seg fault has to do with Anaconda not recognizing the correct disks and then trying to install to that. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > - Rick Stevens, Principal Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxx - > - CDN Systems, Internap, Inc. http://www.internap.com - > - - > - When all else fails, try reading the instructions. - > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > >
