fc6 pre i386 partition gui exception

[John Pearson]

When I attempt to create a custom partition layout, I receive an unhandled 
exception error, with a request to save a detailed report to send in.

How do I save a detailed report?

Does this happen during installation?

If so, see if the bug listed below is your problem and add comments as you
see fit.

You can save a backtrace to a floppy when the exception error occurs and
upload it to bugzilla.

Yes, sorry I omitted that.  I can install the default storage layout without 
incident.

I have seen it mentioned.  My question was how to accomplish it.  I saw no 
option to make it work.  Do I need to invoke the debugger and go from there/

When anaconda crashes for me, it usually offers to save the crash
info in a popup dialog that automatically appears. If you don't
get the dialog it must be crashing harder - might be difficult
to get any useful info.

Could it be that there is no floppy installed?  It has been a while since I 
have used one.

I did transcribe the first block of the traceback.
Error transcription:

Traceback (most recent call first):
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/partition_dialog_gui.py", line 337,
in_init_self.origrequest.drive)
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/partition_gui_.py", line 1093, in
editPartitionRequestrestrictfs = restrictfs)
    File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/partition_gui.py", line 947, in
newCBself.editPartitionRequest(request, isNew = 1)
    TypeError: create AllowedDrivesList() takes exactly 3 arguments (2
given)

:transcription ends.

I will add it to the bug.

I was able to do a remote dump to another host and have uploaded the file bugzilla.
