Description Andrew Overholt 2006-02-22 22:05:12 UTC
Description of problem:
Attempting to resurrect my dead rawhide iBook (failed after an update a few
weeks ago), I thought I'd just upgrade to test3.  I originally had 2 GB free and
then made it 3.8 GB with the rescue CD from today (2006-02-22).  Both amounts of
free disk space resulted in the install failing with the "this is probably
caused by disk space issues" error.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Test3 ppc boot ISO.

How reproducible:
Seemingly always?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot from FC5t3 boot.iso
2. install via NFS
3. upgrade from previous rawhide (sometime in early February 2006)
  
Actual results:
Install fails.

Expected results:
Install doesn't fail.

Can you go to tty3/tty4 and see what the actual error message is.  Please note
rawhide - FC5 upgrades are not supported only upgrades from previous releases
are supported (eg FC4 to FC5T3 or FC4 to FC5)

Comment 2 Andrew Overholt 2006-02-23 02:22:05 UTC
Well, I managed to get my stuff off the machine with the rescue CD from today
(2006-02-22) and just installed it fresh instead of trying to upgrade.  I guess
that's the end of that ...
