That's not the correct syntax for hard drive -- you want something more like --method hd:hda:/RedHat |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; nb-NO; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: While hacking around in the stage2 image, searching for a way to do a harddrive install from another system, I probably found a bug in anaconda. Explicitly, what I really try to do, is to install RHEL into a directory, like Debian's debootstrap. This may or may not be supported by RedHat, but the code lays there, and looks like it's more or less ready to be used. When I run anaconda with --method hd://hda1/RedHat , it just spits a python traceback at me. I think this is the correct way of saying "Install from /dev/hda1, directory /RedHat". # anaconda --text --noselinux --method hd://hda1/RedHat Probing for video card: ATI Radeon 7000 Probing for monitor type: Unknown monitor Probing for mouse type: No - mouse Graphical installation not available... Starting text mode. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 1040, in ? i = string.index(tmpmethod, ":") File "/usr/lib64/python2.3/string.py", line 145, in index return s.index(*args) ValueError: substring not found Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Run the comand # anaconda --text --noselinux --method hd://hda1/RedHat Actual Results: python spits traceback Expected Results: The installer should continue, trying to install from /dev/hda1 Additional info:
