Did you try setting a mount point for a DOS partition? If so, try doing the install again without setting a mount point for any DOS partitions. You can add them later to the /etc/fstab file. Does this help? bfox: yes i4ve tried this. i4ve got some more details now. this error only comes up, if i customize the installation (sources). if i customize installation without selecting kernel-development installing works. if i customize installation without selecting kernel-development , but selecting single packages (dev-packages and normal) anaconda crashes again with the same error. What partitions did you make and how big are they? Looks like a dupe of bug #38448 yes i think it4s nearly the same problem as in bug #38448, but my customized installation also crashes if i don4t set a mount point for the DOS partition. I think there must be a problem with selecting and deselecting single packages. partition data: /dev/hda1 DOS 1.5 GB /dev/hda2 linux 2.5 GB used as / /dev/hda5 swap 128 MB Now I4ve installed RedHat using customized installation, selecting the main packages (not servers and kernel-development) and afterwards customize it using the packagemanager. I4m not satisfied with this, but it works :-) That's strange because I tested the individual package selection screen pretty thoroughly. So selecting dev-packages causes the installer to crash for you? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. |
