Did you choose to not format the '/' partition - it appears it was not. please see my bug report on install: http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18320 i was only able to install on some systems by mknod'ing, and mkfs.ext2'ing the partitions by hand, the standard format didnt perform this for me, and would cause the same error.. this on a total of 5 tested systems so far, mixed from servers to workstations, to notebooks (ide, scsi, ide&scsi) I did choose to format '/' I also selected the "Check for bad blocks" option. I suspect it tried the format and failed which caused this error. Is this problem reproducible? *** Bug 18488 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 18388 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** No, this is not repeatable. I did the install a second time without re-fdisk'ing the disk but I did choose to format the partition again and the install worked. I have a 26Gb drive and I placed a 2Gb partition plus swap at the end of the drive. This system had RedHat 6.1 on it previously but, I did not upgrade. I wanted a new install. Hope this info helps.... This bug should be fixed by the recently released anaconda update ( see http://www.lwn.net/daily/rh7-anaconda.php3 ). There were multiple problems with handling existing partitions, and ext2 partition labels.. I tried to reinstall with the new boot-disk, and it didnt crap out on the format/mounting anymore ... thus solving this bug for me.. as far as im concerned, i think this bug could be marked 'solved & closed' many thnx to the redhat bugfixers for this .. im sure they didnt sleep much in the last week(s) |
