Edit: Sorry - typo there: "mounting device /dev/sda1" should have been "mounting device /dev/sda2" Edit: Sorry - typo there: "mounting device /dev/sda1" should have been "mounting device /dev/sdb2" The same thing happen to me: After finish copying the image to the hdd (sda) I recieve this message on the post-installation process: An error occurred mounting device /dev/sda1 as /: mount failed: (2, None). This is a fatal error and the install cannot continue. Press <Enter> to exit the installer. I already try to install it with the / partition as ext3, ext4 and nothing seems to help. More info from the vt: INFO : moving (1) to step postinstallconfig INFO : doing post-install fs mangling INFO : going to do resize INFO : mount SELinux context for mountpoint /mnt/sysimage to False This HDD already has a /home directory sda6 ext4 (ubuntu) I hope this will shed more light on this bug. same here with sda4 on two different machines. going to try the DVD install. Just tried the DVD install. It's also a bork. Houston, we've got a problem! Decided to get my hands dirty, and get my Gentoo foo on. So I found the filesystem isn't completely borked. I can mount the created filesystem just fine in the LiveCD (sda4 for me). It would not mount in Gentoo though, I believe it was seeing the filesystem as ext4, but I created it as ext3, this may be the culprit. I snooped around a bit in the filesystem Anaconda created after mounting it in the LiveCD, I noticed /boot didn't have an initrd, so I created one. I didn't know the exact kernel version, so I used: mkinitrd initrd-beta.img 2.6.29* I used 2.6.29*, because again I didn't know the exact version, but this may have caused me some problems, I'll get to that in a second. So I went into Gentoo and set up Grub to boot it since it had a kernel and a initrd now. (I checked other directories too, and they had things in there) It mounted the kernel just fine, and loaded the initrd, but stopped on this error: modprobe: FATAL: could not load /lib/modules/2.6.29-0.258.2.3.rc8.git2.fc11.i586/modules.dep: No such file or directory This might have been a product of my flaky initrd creation, I don't know if that is the exact version, but I thought I tried something similar to that... It's getting late, and I'm tired, so I'll take another look at this tomorrow. Maybe somebody else can expand on what I did and get a workaround going. +1 here. same error. I can also confirm that even though I formatted "/" as ext3, it gets reported as ext4 by gparted (booted in another distro). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 492727 *** +1 here. same error. I can also confirm that even though I formatted "/" as ext3, it gets reported as ext4 by gparted (booted in Ubuntu). |
