Did you choose to check for bad blocks when formatting? No, I did not do a check for bad blocks when formatting. These are brand new hard drives though, they work with NT4 and 98 no problem. What SCSI controller is in this system? Adaptec 29160N I am going to pass this on to a QA engineer to attempt to reproduce this issue. Hey, I think I have the same bug. When formating the partititions of my Seagate Cheetah with a tekram DC390 F, it crashes, Aarrghh... Are there any 'sense error' messages on virtual console 3 or 4? Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have additional information to add. |
When doing a standard workstation install, I set everything up to the point of having it start formatting the drive i was installing it on (a 10K RPM WD 9.1GB Ultra160 SCSI HDD). It hung for a LONG time on formatting the /boot partition (sda1) and then exit out giving an option to save the bug to post here. Here is a raw copy of the text file it made: 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 1472, in doInstall self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 713, in mountFilesystems raise SystemError, (errno, msg) SystemError: (6, 'Device not configured') Local variables in innermost frame: size: 8707198 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 84baae0> msg: Device not configured doFormat: 1 errno: 6 device: sda5 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: / ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
