If the vfat partition you are mounting as /mnt/space formatted (ie, can you use it under windows as it is)? workaround: do not assign mountpoints for unformatted partitions. This bug is fixed in the next release of red hat linux. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) The program asked me to send this dump: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 336, in run self.icw.run () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 678, in run mainloop () File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 2554, in mainloop _gtk.gtk_main() File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/gtk.py", line 125, in __call__ ret = apply(self.func, a) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 428, in nextClicked self.setScreen (self.currentScreen, self.nextClicked) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 466, in setScreen new_screen = screen.getScreen () File "/var/tmp/anaconda- 7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/rootpartition_gui.py", line 133, in getScreen avail = apply(isys.spaceAvailable, self.todo.fstab.getRootDevice()) File "isys.py", line 10, in spaceAvailable mount(device, "/mnt/space", fstype = fsystem) File "isys.py", line 99, in mount rc = _isys.mount(fstype, device, location, readOnly) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: fstype: vfat location: /mnt/space devName: /tmp/hdc5 readOnly: 0 device: /tmp/hdc5 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot from linux 7 cd-rom 2.follow instructions on the screen and reach disk druid. set mount point 3.click next for the next screen and CRASH........ Actual Results: the installer asked me to send the dump to you ...and rebooted the system Expected Results: the installer should have went ahead with the installation and ask for swap space all the partitions in the disk are unformatted but it recognizes the partions as windows FAT32 I have another disk which is formatted(FAT) I AM JUST A NOVICE TRYING TO INSTALL LINUX ON MY COMP AND THIS IS WHERE I GOT STUCK.
