Loop 2 install problems

[davkt]

Well Loop 2 looks and works great in live DVD mode (apart from failing to shut down, it starts the shutdown then hangs). Install is a whole different matter though. First off it doesn't spot my existing installation so doesn't offer an upgrade path. OK, understood the dev versions don't do this, it looked good enough to do a clean install and rebuild the system, all goes OK until I try to commit the partitioning (doesn't make any difference if I do it automatically or manually) As soon as I tell it to go ahead it bombs out with the following error:

File "/opt/anaconda/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 867, in nextClicked
self.dispatch.gotoNext()
File "/opt/anaconda/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 140, in gotoNext

File "/opt/anaconda/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 208, in moveStep
rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))

ptype = partedUtils.get_partition_file_system_type(part)
File "/opt/anaconda/usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py", line 158, in get_partition_file_system_type
elif (part.fs_type.name == "ext3") and ( isys.ext4HasExtents(("/dev/"+get_partition_name(part)), makeDevNode = 0) ):
File "/opt/anaconda/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 765, in ext4HasExtents
os.unlink(tdev)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/sda2'

I'll post it to the bugzilla as soon as my password turns up but just wondered if anyone else had had similar problems.

I had a similar problem while trying to partition raid0 on install. By chance do you have an Asus mobo?
I ended up unplugging my raid drives installing on the ide drive replugging the raid drives (sata) and installing EVMS
emerge evms
to use:
sudo evmsgui
worked like a charm

Nope, mine is a Fujitsu Amilo Pro 3205, no RAID on this one!
