Anacondas balkan falls through in NTFS-patrition detection,
which causes NTFS-partitions to be detected as EXT2. This in
turn breaks the install in upgradeFindRoot, causing a jammed
upgrade. Fix by adding the missing 'break' statement into
.../misc/src/anaconda/balkan/dos.c line #142 (I think! :).

I can confirm this problem (hda1 is NTFS, anaconda stops and hangs
there while searching my root fs for upgrading).

Here is a patch, which should apply to bugs 5507, 5555, 5563, 5552 and
5567 (making changes to several of these at once didn't work).

A break statement is missing after detecting a NTFS-partition, thus
identifying it as an EXT2FS-partition.

I just run into the same bug on the 6.1 Cartman.
hda1 is NTFS, install stops, complains something like no ext2fs on
hda1, and hangs.

Also, seen on colleagues machine: hda1 was an old swap partition, 
install (Cartman) complained of lack of space, and kept trying to
format the / partition... Sorry, no precise details on this. Related?
