Description m-yoda 2000-09-26 19:15:34 UTC
My systems are as follows

Tyan S1590S Trinity 100AT MB
amd k62-450
PCI Riva TNT 16mb
Microsoft Intelimouse (PS-2)

I get the same errors on my 
Gigabyte GA-5AA MB
amd k63-400
AGP Riva TNT 16mb
Generic 3-button mouse (Serial)

The install goes well till it reaches the formating of partitions, it
croaks after the swap formating.
I have tried to install without mounting my win98 partitions and also 
without specifying the ethernet card.
I also tried to install without formating the / and /home partitions and 
the result is the same. The root partiton / and /home partitions are 
separate.
By the way this was an install not an upgrade.
I previously had installed pinstripe on both of these systems without any 
problems.

Just to make sure I got the correct iso's here are the sizes
disc1 ------- 670564352
disk2 ------- 676231168
powertools -- 614799360

I will try a network installation
thanks

Comment 1 m-yoda 2000-09-26 19:41:52 UTC
It works!!
This time I chose not to mount any other partitions other than

swap
/
/home

the problem appeared when I tried to mount any other partitions, win98, dos, 
and other linux partitions.
I suppose I can simply mount them after install
Thanks
