While attemtping to install rh7 on several systems, i ran into this problem on just about -all- computers. The install follows along nicely upto the point where it 'starts to install' It comes to the part where it will attempt to format the partitions, returns from format instantly (ie nothing has happend), and breaks on the python GetFreeSpace for the / partition.. When droping to the sh shell (ctrl-alt-f2) trying to format the partitions before the install breaks, i noticed there are no /dev entries for my HD ... I can 'force' the install to work by: cd /dev mknod hda mknod hda1 ... repeat for each partition .. mkfs.ext2 /dev/hda1 .. repeat again.. mkswap /dev/hda2 (my swap partition) and then continuing the install, which at that point works Ive had this problem on - a laptop with IDE - a workstation with scsi - a server with scsi + ide so it feels its safe to say it happens in every situation for me
A traceback from when it does fail would help alot. Also details on a sample scenario where it breaks will help us reproduce it here, otherwise I don't think we'll be able to look into this issue.
Please reopen this report if you continue to have problems.
