From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: install program locks up computer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from CD. 2. install, usually to the point where it has been installing packages. 3. watch computer lock up. 4. repeat. Actual Results: computer locks up, mouse frozen, won't respond to Ctrl- Alt-Del, have to cycle power. Expected Results: I should have been a happy Linux user, with a working machine running Linux that would put my Win ME box to shame and leave Bill Gates covered with confusion. But no... Additional info: Toshiba 366MHz; I had previously tried to install System Commander 2000, but its install failed and left the machine so it would only boot from A: and then not recognize C: or the CD; machine had lived a productive life as a Win98 box until I tried to get fancy; I fiddled the CMOS so it would boot from CD; using the RH 7.1 disks from "Red Hat Bible" book; doing Workstation install. Below is the error message I got the first time I ran install. Since this is computer science, I thought I would run the install program a few more times again and see if anything different happened. On all subsequent installs, it locks up without any error message. -------------------------------------------------------- Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1472, in doInstall self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 713, in mountFilesystems raise SystemError, (errno, msg) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: size: 6152863 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 8211190> msg: Invalid argument doFormat: 0 errno: 22 device: hda6 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: / ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
