Hello, We are getting close to Beta release of fedora 12. On 2009-Sept-23(This Wednesday),a Fedora12 Beta test compose will be available for testing.If you have time,please take 1 or 2 hours to validate installation of this Beta test compose on any real or virtual system.We especially need the help from people who have special hardware,such as PPC platform,RAID device,SCSI device,iSCSI device etc... So if you have such devices,your testing will be more valuable, please do not hesitate to share test results with us. I have create a test matrix where you can report results: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_12_Beta_TC_Install Test cases, Install media and other information also can be found there.

The new test compose fixed the lvm issue which will cause failure when create lvm during installation, no matter manually or automatically by anaconda. please download new test compose at: http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/12-Beta-TC/ Liam

About the timing of that compose, I sent a dent to Jesse, and got these replies: http://identi.ca/notice/10622272 @quaid: compose is taking a while due to being at #LinuxCon . Working on it now. http://identi.ca/notice/10622289 @quaid: that's also the date we /do/ the compose, not necessarily the date that the compose is available to the public.

But this test compose is not stable, I tested it today,both i386 and x86_64, it can not complete an installation on any machine. He said he had made some mistakes with the compose.I don't know this issue due to the mistakes in compose or anaconda of itself.So I have asked Jesse to do another compose for us immediately without previous mistakes.
