This looks like a dupe of bug 16686. Passing to QA to reproduce. One of the two hard disk drives turned out to be defective. After replacing both drives with known good ones, the problem went away. So this is really just an error handling issue. (Display a helpful message instead of a Python traceback.) thanks for your update ... glad to know you have things working ... we are constantly trying to improve the installer error messages and warnings, so hopefully future releases are less cryptic when they fail due to faulty hardware ... thanks for your report! |
Trying to install RedHat Linux 7.0 from CD-ROM on a Compaq PC with two 15G IDE disk drives. Disks are partitioned identically and configured as RAID1 mirrors with the following layout: md0 / 2048M md1 swap 124M md2 /opt 12240M After creating the RAID devices and formatting the partitions, installation fails when trying to mount the filesystems, displaying an "Invalid argument" error and Anaconda traceback. The problem manifests itself both with and without update-disk-20001009. Anaconda traceback (with update-disk-20001009): 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 "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 1491, in doInstall self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/tmp/updates/fstab.py", line 715, in mountFilesystems raise SystemError, (errno, msg) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: size: 255969 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 829c940> msg: Invalid argument doFormat: 1 errno: 22 device: md0 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: / ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
