The beta Pinakle has been running fine but the Redhat 7 release doesn't:


The installation tool stops copying the packages nearly immediatelly with 
this error message - I really don't like the pathnames :


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 ()

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] +

mntpoint)))

    return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem)

-------------------------------

Since the root partition is 2 GByte, insufficent disk space is not the 
problem - my choice of components was about 1.1 GB.

Are you doing an upgrade or install?

What is the mount point /c configured as?

Comment 2 Michael Fulbright 2000-09-26 15:13:13 UTC
This looks like bug 17840.

Comment 3 Michael Fulbright 2000-09-29 16:05:41 UTC
Related to bug 17886?

Comment 4 Need Real Name 2000-10-02 05:14:54 UTC
Not mounting the NTFS partition (was /c) during installation did the trick.
Thanks for your help.

Lars
