Did you format the '/' partition? The device files for the partitions are created as required in the /tmp directory, which is why you didn't see them in /dev. No, I did NOT format / -- the HD I installed to was brand new, so I fdisk-ed it, and proceeded with the install. When the installation process got to the point where it tried to format (or install the swap space, I forget), it craped out on me. A reboot solved the problem, becuase this time the disk was already partitioned. Passed to QA to verify this issue: Take a hard drive and wipe the partitioning table to all zeros. Partition the drive as indicated in this report, and see if this problem is reproduced. hmmm ... we are unable to reproduce this problem w/generic test lab hardware (trying what was described above, zero-ing out the entire drive and then partitioning as described above) what kind of drive do you have ...? Please reopen this report if you continue to have problems. |
