I've encountered the same problem - I wanted to install Linux on /dev/hdb2 and /dev/hda is occupied with Windows & BeOS. I've made that disk primary (temporary disabling the "old" primary, the former /dev/hda) and thus RH7 has successfully been installed on /dev/hda2. Then I've modified /etc/fstab, halted the system, reinserted the primary, changed the RH partitioned disk to secondary and thus I've managed to have both RH7 on /dev/hdb2 AND /dev/hda with its Windows & BeOS partitions. |
Installation of RH7.0 from CD-ROM fails just after or during formatting of the swap partition while using the expert mode. I am able to get past this point and do a complete install under the workstation class, but would really like to be able to go though and install many of the other individual packages at this time (only allowed under expert mode). Please let me know if there is something that I can do to get this to work properly...till that time I am stuck with MSwindows on this machine. Thanks much, Andy ------------------------------- Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInstall if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selected()): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + \ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in filesystemSpace space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' + mntpoint))) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//win ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
