This looks like a dupe of bug 19523. It would help greatly if you could give step by step instructions on how to reproduce this problem. step by step process to create the error. scenario: Windows NT workstation 4.00.1381 FAT filesystem with 1.4G free space.- single partition RAM = 32MB 1) Boot throught Linux RedHat CD 7.0 2) Select Custom installation. 3) Select disk druid as the partiion utility 4) Edit the single partition shown , and select the mount point as / . ( RedHat give some warnings about penalty for not using Linux-Native partitions ) 5) Since memory is less then 32, RedHat installations prompts to create swap partion (filesystem) immediatly to proceed further 6) Say yes 7) RedHat prompts for package selection. 8) RedHat create loopback filesystem 9) Does formating of / file system 10) Reads package information and gives the error reported. this problem occurs when a partitionless install requires a package from the 2nd CD ... Assigning to a developer. |
