From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) Description of problem: I am trying to install RH in a 3.7Gb empty FAT32 partion. The partitiion is located beyond the 8gb limit (maybe RH does not like?). No pb. with the BIOS, because Windows 2000 works fine with a partition wich is also beyond 8gb. I have the same message, when the partition is empty. My HDD is a common 18.5 Gb IDE-ATA 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 "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 10, in spaceAvailable mount(device, "/mnt/space", fstype = fsystem) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/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/hdc3 readOnly: 0 device: /tmp/hdc3 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> How reproducible: Didn't try Additional info: I try to install in a FAT32 partition, because in my HDD there is only one free partition (the three others primary partitions are used by Windows 95, Windows NT4 and Windows 2000. I understand that if I want to install in linux native partition, I need at least two: one for the root and one for the swap, right ? Thank you in advance. Kind regards, Thomas Beck
