Description Need Real Name 2001-01-14 20:35:14 UTC
Installation failure in release 7. Formatting after package selection fails
with the following debug saved to floppy:

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

    return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem)
SystemError: (2, 
'No such file or directory')

<failed>


This is a (hopefully) dual boot system with the windows 98 set at a mount 
point of /dosc. Partitioning is as follows

/dosc   4000m    fat32
/       2000m    linux native
/usr    3000m    linux native
/opt    2250m    linux native
swap    125m
swap    125m

RHBA 2000:084 seemed to fit the bill, but the file size exceeds a floppy 
diskette capacity. Rawrite will fail to create a proper .img file with this 
update as currently posted due to the file being to big to fit on a 
standard floppy.

All help will be appreciated.

Regards,

Sam
