My hardware is as follows: Athlon 550 (Slot-A) FIC-SD11 motherboard 256M RAM (requires mem=256M) Voodoo3/3000/AGP NetGear FA310-TX Sound Blaster 16 I get what I believe is the identical error from my other machinne, as follows: Athlon 800 (Socket-A, Thunderbird) MSI6330 motherboard 256M RAM (doesn't need mem=256M) Voodoo3/3000/AGP Linksys LNE100-TX (ver 2.0) SBLive! MP3 Both machines go through the install to the point of formatting the filesystems, and the swap After that they go 'blah'. There are two workarounds I have found for this problem- 1) Network install (http://) worked fine. 2) 'expert' install (in text or graphics) work fine if I do not specify the NIC. They can be configured post install without problems. Allowing capture of Traceback errors is a "Good Thing"(tm). Here's mine: ---8<--- Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInstall if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selected()): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + \ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in filesystemSpace space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' + mntpoint))) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//c ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
I've seen the same problem, however, not selecting the NIC in expert mode didn't help. The debug output tells that it tries to query the free space of /mnt/sysimage//win95 but this file doesn't exist. I've asked for my win95 partition to be mounted as /win95
Are you trying to mount a FAT partition as /c? Is this a partionless install or upgrade?
This looks like bug 17846.
the Same error for me. I am trying to mount a NTFS partition as /nt1. I also have /nt2 and /nt3 Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//nt1
I have exactly the same problem, install gets as far as the formating swap space, and crashes just after. I will probably follow up with the output of the bug report
here is my input for this bug .. here's my hardware dual p3, aic7xxx, geforce2, sda1 win98, sdb1 swap, sdb2 linux native here is my recollection of the matter (i've had this for days.. bugzilla has been down or something) .. i'm probably gunna just try to install without using disk druid to setup the fat32 mount .. From memory so take with a grain of salt and i'm not sure of the order of these screens 1. insert boot cd 2. at prompt hit enter 3. leave english selected.. click next keyboard -. leave english selected, select Microsoft Natural .. click next mouse -. leave generic - 3 button (ps/2) selected .. click next time -. select America/Chicago (Central) -. select UTC to -6 Central (dont think this really matters) -. check use daylight savings time (once again don't think it matters) -. click next network -. select use dhcp, leave active at boot checked (i think that was the option) click next password setup -. leave two default options.. md5 and shadow checked.. click next user setup -. add root password -. add one user account IO/Partition setup -. leave current settings for my old redhat install the way they are -. /dev/sda1 -> windows fat 32 -> add /mnt/win98 moun pnt -. /dev/sdb1 -> linux swap -> -. /dev/sdb2 -> linux native -> add / mount pnt -. click next Lilo boot -. uncheck 'create boot floppy' -. install lilo to MBR of /dev/sda1 -. leave linear mode checked -. check box to set 'dos' as default parition -. click next. Package selection. -. select install (dont like upgrades) .. and custom, click next -. uncheck a bunch of packages from the list (emacs, kde, news server, etc.. ) -. check select individual packages -. remove tetex stuff.. add a bunch of packages i wanted that were not checked -. click next .. a few packages still checked that need tetex -. 1. my first install try, i went back and forth until i'd found and unselected all the various packages that had dependancies on stuff i didnt want installed 2. second install try, I just clicked the section option..something like do not install packages that have dependancies -. click next Install screen. -. says its formatting the file system -. says its formatting the swap.. BOOM -. saved error to floppy -. btw, i'm nearly positive this is the exact same error for both scenerios (hit enter to fast the first time and lost the message on reboot) Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInstall if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selected()): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 46, in systemMounted self.loopbackFile = mntPoint + fstab.filesystemSpace(mntPoint)[0][0] + \ File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 258, in filesystemSpace space.append((mntpoint, isys.fsSpaceAvailable(topMount + '/' + mntpoint))) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//mnt/win98 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
I have tried several things, and it seems that the install works fine as long as you don't change any of the packages.
Same problem here, except for the name and mount point for an existing DOS partition. DRUID was supposed to mount it on /Win98C... here's the relevant Traceback (nice feature !) SystemError: (2, 'No such file or directory') Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//Win98C
I have the same problem too. It looks like there are quite a few of these. The only thing that varies between the different reports is "fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//xxyy". On my box, xxyy was "dos". To me it looks like the fsystem has little or no effect on the bug, and is completely in the filenames. The thing it screws up on is: File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 16, in fsSpaceAvailable and all the other things in there have "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1/" in front. Since I'm not familiar with how anaconda works, I can't say for certain what it is, but I think the problem code might be something like this: run( installpath + "/usr/lib/anaconda/image.py" ); ... run( installpath + "/usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py" ); ... run( "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py" ); where installpath is "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1/". If I'm right, it's a pretty easy fix, especially if it's in a script of some sort.
Ok, so it really isn't that simple after all. (D'OH!) However, I seem to have found a workaround. It appears to work fine, since I've got it humming away at the install now. When setting up partitions with druid, I noticed it was doing some crazy stuff, like showing partitions where they weren't, and the most mind- boggling thing was my hdb2 partition that read: mount point: /dos/swap size: 160 allocation: failed reason: allocation successful <--- wtf? So....I took a step back and used fdisk. After setting it all up with fdisk, the GUI part same back up for mount point setting. I set mount points for the boot and root partitions, but did *NOT* set mount points for the dos partitions. The partitions formatted and the install started without any further troubles. Not setting it up here really isn't a problem because later you can just edit fstab and add in the dos partitions after it's all over.
Installed from both a SCSI-cd (graphical) and from another hard disk (text based) and got the same message... After that I tried without setting any mount point for my windows disk. Still the same problem.
Correction, last message was a bit wrong. Only the SCSI-cd install (graphical) produced this message. I choosed custom and gave the windows drive a mount point.
