It looks like from the dump you chose not to format the '/' partition. This will definately cause problems, and something we've added checks for in newer versions of the installer. Does this sound like what happened? I don't believe so, but, then again, it was a bit late! I'm pretty sure I elected to format all partitions. If you could try again I would appreciate it. The doFormat = 0 in the dump means it was not going to try and format the partition. I appreciate you trying to solve this, but I already have invested a bit of time setting up my Linux box. Like I said in my original report, I was able to work around the problem. Unless you can tell me how to do a re-install, but not overwrite my existing set-up, I can't help you. Thanks anyways, P. Ok please open a new report if you have any future problems. |
