Description acousti-net 2000-07-05 02:14:15 UTC

I start the installation with a boot disk, then install from /hda2 
to /hdb1, and just after i enter authentication configurations, the 
package installation starts but i get some errors:



Traceback (innermost last):

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])

Was the partition you were installing from also mounted in your /etc/fstab of
the system you were upgrading?

Comment 2 acousti-net 2000-07-05 23:24:08 UTC

first of all, i wasn't upgrading my system, i was installing fresh. During the 
installation i ran disk druid and mounted /windows which is /dev/hda2, 
also /dev/hda2 is the place where you can find the installation files.

about the /etc/fstab part, i'm really not sure cause i never had the chance to 
finish the install and view the file

hmmm ... I was able to perform a hard drive install from a vfat source partition
as you described above (mounted in ddruid too) without a problem in our test lab
...

Often it appears in hard drive install reports that the hard drive image was not
copied cleanly/reliably to the source partition ... you may want to try
installing after a recopy ... please feel free to reopen this if you have
additional information and/or trouble with the recopy ...

Thanks for your report!
