Is this doing a hard drive install?
G'day Jeremy, This was doing a CD-ROM installation. However, I'll set up for a hard drive install and let you kow the results.
Same issue. The installer was able to find the disc image on a FAT partition on the drive (found as /dev/hde), but after installation type selection the "No valid devices found" problem returned.
Hmmm, the image isn't there for me to look at now...
Many apologies - the curst of case sensitivity strikes again. The .PNG should be there now.
Hmm, can you switch to tty2 and get the output of list-harddrives? Also, if you could copy both /tmp/syslog and /tmp/anaconda.log to a floppy from there, that would be tremendously helpful.
Created attachment 99358 [details] /tmp/anaconda.log
Created attachment 99359 [details] /tmp/syslog list-harddrive: hde3 has a 0 raid signature and windows parts
Aha, I see what it is. Fixed in CVS
Wonderful! Is it possible to patch the installation CD with the modified code, ir should I wait for Test 3?
