Bug in RH6.1 installer ? (unformatted partition crashes the installer)

Hi,

I just tried to upgrade my box from RH6.0 to 6.1,

I have the following partitions:

hda1 fat32

hda2 linux (contained RH 6.0)

hda3 linux swap

hda4 linux

note that hda4 was unformatted (I did not run mke2fs on this partition)

when the installer tries to autodetect the partitions,

it fails on hda4 and says mount: invalid argument,

and then the installer freezes.

after rebooting and running mke2fs on /dev/hda4 , the installer upgraded

my box without troubles.

That means during install you should check if there is not a valid filesystem on the partition.

just my 0.02c

PS: I know these idiotic cases do happen only to me.

:-)

regards,

Benno.
