Additional info:

Motherboard:  Asus TX97-E
Processor:  Pentium 233MMX
Memory Dimm: 192mb
Partions to be created:
/dev/hda1   /boot   ext3
/dev/hda2   /       ext3
/dev/hda3           swap
/dev/hdb1   /home   ext3
/dev/hdc1   /var    ext3

Comment 1 David C. Wright 2005-06-22 20:11:55 UTC

Rebooted system, ran parted to remove partions from hda, hdb, hdc, then reran
the installer.  Worked ok.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2005-06-22 20:29:39 UTC

I believe this is fixed by the file descriptor leak patch.  See bug 160693.
