F12 RC possible bug when windows pre installed???

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Hello,

just downloaded boot.iso (170Mb) from

http://ftp.tudelft.nl/download.fedora.redhat.com/linux/development/x86_64/os/images/boot.iso
with timestamp 07-Nov-2009 14:13 171M

My test system has a partition layout that comprehends 

sda1 ntfs with windows XP and set as bootable by windows xp itself

inside the winxp fs  I also have the copy of the first 512 bytes of sda4, to boot my F11 partition (with grub installed previously in root partition) from boot.ini of windows.

Now I have also sda2 that is scratchable.

I run the cd where I burnt the boot.iso and select sda2 as target partition and to install grub on root partition (so sda2)
This grub setup phase completes, but then I get an error about repositories not aligned with my install treee and I can only retry (with same failure) or reboot.
I reboot and I'm not able to start win xp anymore.

I start the same f12 cd in rescue and notice with fdisk that now  my sda has this

sda1 no bootable flag
sda2 bootable flag

so that I remove bootbale flag from sda2 and set bootable flag for sda1 and my windows XP starts again and also is able again to start my F11 from sda4

Is this a bug or does it depends on installation not finished?
Anyway I think we have to consider a possible error and the bootable flasg should not be removed from sda1.....

I copied these files and they are available to check

Possible that it excludes all repositories?

Any hint, also for install?

Great - can you please file a bug, and attach all of them? Thanks.

Does it say anything about repositories it *accepts*? Any other
repositories at all, F12 repos?

No, what I wrote was all the contents of yum.log.
I opened bug 533658, so you can see all of them.

I talked to Jesse today, and apparently this is known. The problem is
that the installer is no longer tagged as a beta installer, so it
refuses to use Rawhide repos, but the 'F12' repos are currently Rawhide
repos, so there's nothing to install from. If I understand correctly, at
any rate. This will get magically fixed once the real F12 repos exist.

I suspected something similar...
Does this mean that till F12 is released, the boot.iso image is not usable for install?
What would be another method without downloading all the DVD?

No, only till we have the Everything repo setup, which is when we are
confident we really have the final bits.

I have noticed also, that Fedora install disks whether livecd's or RC candidates also seem to get the /boot/grub/grub.conf file wrong.  The linux partition gets properly setup, but the windows partition is wrong.  ie, the computer has a restore partition and it becomes the default leaving the other partition unbootable.  I solved it via

changing (hd0,0) to (hd0,1) and modifying the name one to windows and the other to rescue partition.  This is a heads up and IMO should be placed in the documentation.  It has happened to me at least 3 times and I apologize in advance for not making a bugzilla(time, work, other excuses, etc), found a workaround instead.  I trashed two windows installations because of this, but in the end I was happy to run Fedora.  

I know that it is *impossible* to setup a system in which all the possibilities are known, but there are some machines/many in fact that hace a restore partition and the installation of grub maps to it instead of the "normal" windows(C:\) partition.  

Thanks for reading this message.

Regards,

Antonio

Is this new behaviour in F12 or was it the same in F11? Can you _please_
file a bug, including an fdisk printout of a partition layout which
would trigger the bug? Thanks.

I was finally able to look at the bug and the logs and it's slightly
different than I originally thought.  This has to do with the version
string that is passed to the compose process for rawhide.  It gets
passed a version of "rawhide" so the yum repos it finds all have the
name "rawhide" in them.  When betanag is turned off in Anaconda, it will
refuse to use any "rawhide" like repo by default, thus you get no repos.
The only way to "fix" that is to pass a different version string during
the rawhide compose once we've turned off betanag.

It is eventually the same behavior :(, I have two Emachines ET-1105?  one running rawhide and another one running Fedora 11, and I had to do the same thing.  Will attach fdisk -l from machine tomorrow since I am not at work where the machine is at :(

If I file a bug, may I ask against which component should I file against?
grub?

This is the first one that I encountered the so called bug:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2009-August/msg00565.html

It had as grub.conf

[root acer-aspire-1 ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that

#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_aceraspire1-lv_root
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,2)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu

        root (hd0,2)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.31-0.162.rc6.git2.fc12.i686 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_aceraspire1-lv_root acpi=off SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 KEYTABLE=us rd_plytheme=charge

title windows xp
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

and I had to change it to

[root acer-aspire-1 ~]# cat /boot/grub/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that

title windows xp
        rootnoverify (hd0,1)
        chainloader +1
title Acer Restore
        rootnoverify (hd0,0)
        chainloader +1

Note the Acer Restore partition was hd0,0 and windows was (hd0,1).  It also happened to me with Fedora 11 install on Emachines 1105 machine :(.  The real "C:\ " Windows partition was not marked bootable so I had to modifiy it with cfdisk to bootable after I had to reinstall windows since I "did not know" that it was there and thought I had lost it because of the message that I got that the system was being reinstalled since I booted the acer rescue partition :(

Will try to follow up tomorrow with this.  

Regards,

Antonio

I think anaconda, as that's what actually does the grub installation. It
may turn out to be something else in the end, but let's start there...

A bug report would be far, far better. Thanks.

But since
# fdisk -l
could very well be very different for *all cases*, the bug is marked as
 
Status:  CLOSED CANTFIX  
<quote>
Comment #1From Chris Lumens 2009-11-10 09:26:27 EDT -------
We can't fix this, because we do not have the information to make this kind of
decision.  The "System" column from your fdisk output above is not exported to
anaconda by parted/pyparted because it really only means something on the msdos
disk type, and that's what we'd require to make this decision.  In all other
ways, your first partition look exactly like a Windows partition so anaconda
believes it is one.

Can it be at least in the RELEASE NOTES, in case something like this happens? 
 
Regards,
 
Antonio

I think the original problem I reported was different.
As in my bugzilla there were actually two problems, I opened a new bugzilla only for the partition problem one

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=537155

Here we are not talking about "System" column, but about "Boot" column, that I hope is accessible by the installer, as it changes its values.... removing the bootable flag originally set.

Thanks for attention
Gianluca
