Description bobvm 2000-04-04 21:35:44 UTC
I downloaded (via ftp) the RedHat/RPMS and RedHat/base directories, and the
boot.img file, to my local Win95 hard drive partition, in an attempt to
Upgrade to 6.2.  After booting from the new boot floppy, I selected to use
the Graphical mode from the 6.2 Welcome screen, and choose the Upgrade
option.  The Upgrade proceeded to check for files to upgrade, and an
"Exception Occurred" traceback window was displayed.  The Upgrade cannot
continue when this occurs.  Linux 6.2 recognized my drives (Win95 hda and
Linux hdb) during the first series of screens.

The traceback is as follows:
File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 342, in ?
  intf.run(todo, test = test)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1165, in run
  rc = apply(step[1](), step[2])
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 702, in __call__
  if todo.doInstall()
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1131, in doInstall
  self.method.targetFstab(self.fstab)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 56, in targetFstab
  fstype = self.fstype)
File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 56, in mount
  return _isys.mount(fstype, device, location)
SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory')
