[Bug 42003] Re: no root file system

[Joel Stanley]

I see this also, using todays (20060430?) 'desktop' cd.

Has happened twice, going in for the thrid go now.

Ran installer and from desktop with these steps:
* selected manually partition
* created a root partition, and swap, (these are to be formatted) and asked to re-use /home parition w/o formatting
* Continue to the end of the installer
* begins creating partitions then comes up with 'no root file system' dialouge
* pressed okay, dialouge stops at 15% (left for an hour, no change)

fdisk -l, after rebooting from failed install, shows the partitions were created. However, starting up the installer again, the partitioning screen shows /dev/sda2 (was going to be root), as 'unknown' type.
