Description ramshan 2000-10-22 03:47:41 UTC
I tried using the following partition scheme:
<not set> hda1   5506M   Win95 FAT32
/boot        hda2     15M    Linux native
<swap>    hda5     133M  Linux swap
/dos         hda6     258M  DOS16
/               hda7   2110M  Linux native
Installation fails after formatting partitions. I even tried breaking / partition into /usr, /var, and /home.
without any success.

The error message is as follows:

Traceback (innermost last):

    rc = self.todo.doInstall ()

My error seems to be similar to the bug#19521, bug#19529 and bug#19533.
Sorry for the duplication.

Thanks
Ram Shan
