Do both partitions have a label of '/'? Problem solved. The installer didn't like the following line from my fstab file: LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 so I changed it to: /dev/hda3 / ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1 and the installer worked fine after that. This line had worked fine for previous upgrades when the file sytem was ext2 not ext3. Only '/dev/hda3' had a label of '/'. There is more checking which should handle this case in our current codebsa.e |
