Description Peter A. Schwenk 2000-09-26 20:09:39 UTC
System:
Gateway Solo 9300 laptop, 192MB RAM, 19GB disk (4GB for windows, 14GB for
RH7, and 192M swap), DVDROM, floppy, Megahertz ether/modem PCMCIA card,
Maestro2e sound chip.

While doing an "everything" install, after the installer says it's
formatted the swap, the follow error message pops up:

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')


Here's the entire contents of the dump file:

This has happened to me as well under both VMWare (using a 2G disk image and
removing some packages) as well as my K6-2 w/18G HD (12G for /)
