Gary W. Sherwin Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: /etc/fstab contains LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hdg3 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu, o 0 0 /dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu, o 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 I have autp partitioned under Fedora Core 1 as hde1 1 13 102 ext3 hde2 14 9664 75705 ext3 hde3 9665 9729 510 linux-swap I get the error: Error enabling swap device hdg3. No such file or directory NOTE: I do not have a device hdgX. I have hde My installation is Core 1 and also fully updated. I have tried noprobe, text, C3boot-2.iso. Everything stops at exactly the same place. Actual results:
In fedora core 1 can you give me the out put of the following: cat /proc/swaps If you edit your fstab to s/hdg3/hde3/ does Fedora Core 1 boot and setup swap correctly? Anaconda is quite rightly complaining that it can't find the device. Has any h/w config changed at all since your original install.
The outpuput of "cat /proc/swaps is: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/hde3 partition 522104 89424 -1 I missed the typo in fstab, and have corrected it. The machine still boots correctly. I have to wait till I get home this evening, to try the install again, As I can't do that remotely. This was a Win-2000-Server machine which had 2 disks. The system disk crashed and was replaced with a new drive. The installation was made with the new disk and a second old quantum 3GB disk attached that was formatted ntfs. That disk has since been removed as it would not function, even under knoppix. My Fedora Core 1 system seems to be functioning reasonably on its own. http://sherwin.ws with web, ftp, sendmail and port forwarding running. I have attempted to install as a Fedora Core 2 cd boot and get as far as the point where it correctly detects the Core 1 installation on hde, but when I tell it to continue, that is when it looks for the swap on hdg and of course fails. Thanks Gary
