Comment 5 for bug 48311

Hi,

I just got bitten by this bug also. The following does not work (on reboot, the I get a kernel panic on being unable to mount root),

part swap --size 4096 --asprimary --ondisk sda
part / --fstype ext3 --size 10240 --asprimary --ondisk sda
part /webstar1 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --asprimary --ondisk sda

The following works as expected (giving me logical partitions)

part swap --size 4096 --ondisk sda
part / --fstype ext3 --size 10240 --ondisk sda
part /webstar1 --fstype ext3 --size 1 --grow --ondisk sda
