I had the exact same error occur for me. The only difference is that instead
of "fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//c", I had "fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//mnt/data"
I had one fat 32 partition ("C:" in windows, I think /dev/hda1) I wanted to put
as /mnt/win98
I had another fat 32 partition ("D:" in windows, I think /dev/hda5) I wanted to
put as /mnt/data
Other than that, my error was the same as this guy's, word for word.
I'm just not gonna tell anaconda about my fat32 partitions, and set it up
manually later. No big deal for me, since I know how to do that, but the
message was a bit scary for me at first.

The install failed several times, always at the same point; right after formatting /. The traceback is included below. I was trying to install with partitions "/", "/boot", "/home", "/pub", "/backup" and "/c". All exept the last one are ext2 filesystems. The last one is a fat32 fs. Only "/" and "/boot" was formatted, the others were leftovers from a previous install. When excluding all but "/" and "/boot" from the install, the error did no longer occur, which leads me to believe that the FAT32 filesystem caused the error. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 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//c ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
