If you switch to VC2 and look at /tmp/syslog do you see any kernel read errors that might be from the CD? No read error. The /mnt/source was unmounted. But apparently somewhere anaconda thought that it was hda and not hdc to umount and eject and got confused. Only way was to remove the CD from hdc, put it back in hda mount it on /tmp/hda (after mknod /tmp/hda) and then the installation could resume. The problem is that somewhere inside anaconda was still expecting /mnt/source to be mounted from the primary CDRom used for boot and not the secondary one used to read Disk2 Daniel of course I did the install yeesterday and the /tmp/syslog is long gone :-\ Daniel Does this happen with the final RHEL release? Hum, I didn't tried to reproduce the behaviour. I have an RHEL 3 AS installed on that box now. I can't be 100% sure the problem occured with the beta2 media, I think that was the latest option available at the time though I burned the CD myself probably with later versions. Daniel This should be fine in current code, AFAIK. Reopen if you can reproduce on a recent FC/RHEL build. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.7 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20030131 Description of problem: Hum, I managed to break the installer - boot with CD Rom1 in hda reader - put CD Rom 2 in hdc reader - anaconda automatically find and load CD2 from hdc - but when trying to eject CD Rom 2 it loops in error "an error unmounting the CD, please make sure you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell" and it's impossible to get out of the loop from the UI (fiddling on tty2 to remmount the CD on hda was the only way) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot with CD Rom1 in hda reader 2.put CD Rom 2 in hdc reader 3.anaconda automatically find and load CD2 from hdc 4.anaconda fails ejecting from hdc Actual Results: anaconda fails ejecting from hdc at the end of CD2 Expected Results: anaconda to eject from hdc it it was mounted from it and continue with CD3 from either hda or hdc Additional info:
