Description of problem: Install fails with an interrupt error during image copy to / volume Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 test2 CD 1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot FC5#1 2. diskdruid sees the RAID 1 volume, can parition it, can format it (albeit slowly), but fails during install image copy. 3. Actual results: Driver error. Expected results: Complete install. Additional info: Since it's early in the install, I can't copy the error message to another host. The message is quite long. I will try to find a way to copy/paste it here.
To summarize the end of the install log: :Preparing to install packages :switching from CD [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] to 1 :isys.py:mount() going to mount /tmphda on /mnt/source Error was an unexpected interrupt trap.
We really need the full exception to have a good idea of what went wrong. You should be able to switch to tty2 and copy it elsewhere.
DCan you send a quick how-to or point me in the right direction on how to switch to tty2? I assume I should then be able to mount a floppy (all other paritions are NTFS) and save the text there. In addition to the install log, are there any other logs applicable?
You can press ctrl-alt-f2 to switch over to tty2. The /tmp/anaconda.log and /tmp/anacdump.txt (if it exists) are all that's required.
I gave up trying and now run Fedora as a VM because Windows provides better hardware support. Having to wait YEARS for equivalent linux drivers is operational insanity.
