Comment 8 for bug 188976

Duh, I should give you the set of partitions that caused todays failure.

This is a test system, so it's simple. One 250GB SATA drive, and in todays case the install was off of USB key, but I have seen the same off of CD-ROM.

  Here are the partitions I made that caused it to fail:

Partition
        Size in MB
                  Mount point (most are ext3)
p1 8192 /
p2 4096 (spare, not used)
p3 4096 swap
p4 extended (rest)
l5 32678 /usr
l6 8192 /tmp
l7 4096 /var
l8 4096 /var/cache
l9 4096 /var/log
l10 4096 /var/spool
l11 4096 /var/spool/mail
l12 rest /home

  I did not make /srv or /opt as it was just a test system. Do something like that and you will be able to reproduce this crash.
