Bug report from installation process.
Attachment contains the bug report thrown out by the installation process.
Its appears the partitioning on /dev/hdc did not quite work out. How did you partition this device? /dev/hdc is an IBM 120GB partitioned into 20+40+60G ext2 chunks for data storage only. These details are available in the attached bug report. Notice that /dev/hdc3 doesn't have a filesystem on it yet, but is targeted for an ext2. The actual 8.0 installation is on the /dev/hda. Also, text installation doesn't throw up the exception, given the same installation params. Note: 'hdc' was partitioned (cfdisk on Slackware) long before the installation. It just happens to be around on this system for RedHat's use (if necessary). Could you try using fdisk to partition /dev/hda if you haven't already? Actually, I wouldn't be able to help you there since I had already installed the distribution using the text only version (same params. as the GUI by the way). I had performed the text installation an additional 2 times with different params., one of which included the fdisk options. I could have re- tried fdisk with GUI if it was a couple of weeks ago. Sorry. Glad to hear you have it working. Let us know if you have additional issues. The GUI installation still won't work. Repeatedly. Do you still want to leave it closed ? |
