Traceback of the crash, saved into a floppy.
Should be happier now. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: Firstly, the installer gives the famous "Unable to align partitions correctly..." warning. This may be the cause of the bug. The install crashes when formating and initializing partitions. Prompts python traceback, which I saved on my floppy and then asks for reboot. I have just one ide Maxtor 80GB (ATA), with following partitions before installation: - 60gb NTFS (in the beginning of partition) - then 10gb logical partition with FAT32 and empty space for swap - empty space (10gb) Partition selected during installation: 1) Created swap of 1G into the logical partition, placed into the freespace after FAT32 2) /boot of 100MB in the beginning of the empty space (primary partition) 3) / fills the end of the drive (primary partition) Here is the traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 1044, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 242, in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 763, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 169, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 237, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 669, in doPreInstall method.mergeFullHeaders(id.grpset.hdrlist) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 172, in mergeFullHeaders self.mountMedia(1) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 52, in mountMedia self.mountDirectory() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/harddrive.py", line 90, in mountDirectory readOnly = 1); File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 173, in mount rc = _isys.mount(fstype, device, location, readOnly, bindMount, remount) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora2-test3 isos (i386) How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info: After the install, my computer booted to windows and hda5 was there, but without any data. It seems the partition table was somehow damaged.
