My systems are as follows Tyan S1590S Trinity 100AT MB amd k62-450 PCI Riva TNT 16mb Microsoft Intelimouse (PS-2) I get the same errors on my Gigabyte GA-5AA MB amd k63-400 AGP Riva TNT 16mb Generic 3-button mouse (Serial) The install goes well till it reaches the formating of partitions, it croaks after the swap formating. I have tried to install without mounting my win98 partitions and also without specifying the ethernet card. I also tried to install without formating the / and /home partitions and the result is the same. The root partiton / and /home partitions are separate. By the way this was an install not an upgrade. I previously had installed pinstripe on both of these systems without any problems. Just to make sure I got the correct iso's here are the sizes disc1 ------- 670564352 disk2 ------- 676231168 powertools -- 614799360 I will try a network installation thanks --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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//dos/c ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
It works!! This time I chose not to mount any other partitions other than swap / /home the problem appeared when I tried to mount any other partitions, win98, dos, and other linux partitions. I suppose I can simply mount them after install Thanks
