error anaconda produces while copying system files to disk
Can you try the install again, but this time don't set a mount point for any DOS partitions. After the install, you can set mount points for them in the /etc/fstab file. Does this help? As advised, I deleted the mount point for the DOS partition, and this did eliminate the error I reported earlier. But now I get a new error: "An error occured (sic) transferring the install image to your HD. Your are probably out of disk space." No, I'm not out of disk space. I have half of a 30 GB HD set aside for RH Linux: 256 MB for a swap partition and the remainder for my root partition. Any other suggestions? When the error message appears, press <Ctrl><F2>. Then type "mknod hda". Then type "fdisk -l hda". Can you attach the output of that to the bug report? I'm curious to know how big the partitions that you made were. Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have more information. Problem resolved. I was able to install RH 7.2 without problems after running defrag and fips again. When run the second time, fips exited immediately after simply reporting that I had no more disk space available. I would guess that my disk had not been completely defragmented when I ran fips the first time. There may have been some disk activity that I was unaware of between the time that I defragged and the time that I ran fips (first time). Thank you for following up. |
