The comment about permissions on /dev/sdb3 above were incorrect. Changing those have no effect. /dev/sdb3 prompted an earlier bug when boot-RHEA-1999:044.img was used without updates-RHEA-1999:045.img. Sorry for that misleading information. My reference to the same (?) bug in 44.img should have been #6278: digits transposed :-( As noted in #6278, bugs #5555 and #5944 seem to be similar. ------- Additional Comments From 11/01/99 15:50 ------- You might appreciate explicit fdisk dumps:- Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1023 515560+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 1024 1284 131544 82 Linux swap /dev/hda3 1285 5824 2288160 83 Linux Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hdb1 1 2055 16506756 83 Linux Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 1 50 207669 6 FAT16 /dev/sda2 51 1019 4025226 83 Linux Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 140 582088+ b Win95 FAT32 /dev/sdb2 141 400 1081080 7 HPFS/NTFS /dev/sdb3 401 432 133056 82 Linux swap /dev/sdb4 433 1018 2436588 83 Linux Hope this helps. I have tried to be comprehensive. ------- Additional Comments From 11/07/99 17:30 ------- FYI, I am receiving the same error on an FTP install. It seems the previous 'Anaconda fix' still needs work. There is reason to believe this bug is error message is a result of having corrupt or incomplete RPM files in the source directory. See details in bug #6438 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6438 *** This is to confirm that there was a corrupt rpm file. Probably an accident when downloading an update which should have gone to another directory after two successful installs onto oter machines :-( Sorry to have missed that. Glad to confirm diagnosis. |
