Looks like bug 17791.

Were you trying to mount a swap partition?

Comment 3 dan sherwin 2001-02-22 01:33:31 UTC
I tried the install 2 ways.  The first was lettting the install format the 
partions and remove data automatically.  The second time I setup the partions 
manually.  Same error both ways.  What next?

Thanks.

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2001-02-27 20:16:44 UTC
I cannot reproduce this - it would really help to have step by step instructions
on how to reproduce this issue.

Comment 6 dan sherwin 2001-02-27 21:37:34 UTC
I had 2 disks in the system.  It was a real f...ing pain to get them configured 
with RH6.0.  I simply deleted all partions and setup one disk and it's all good 
now.  The disk I'm having trouble with is like 10 years old.  You can close the 
call, thanks for your help!!
