Description Rev. Johnny Healey 2004-01-07 06:54:06 UTC
Description of problem:
In attempting to install over a debian installation, I chose manual
partitioning.  I told it to reformat my '/' partition, and selected
the proper '/home' partition, but told it not to format that.  Both
are ext3.  The installation continued and formatted the root partition
fine.  However, while copying the installation image over, it reached
about 80% of the way and stopped claiming that the most likely cause
of the problem was lack of hard drive space (the root partition alone
is 9GB - not likely).  I tried this several times recieving the same
error.  Finally, I started the installation from the beginning,
selected manual partitioning, and did not specify the '/home'
partition.  Installation went fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora Core 1

How reproducible:
Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. select manual partitioning
2. tell it to format the '/' partition, but not the '/home' partition
3. continue

Does booting with 'linux allowcddma' work around the problem?
