This is the EXACT same system AND hard drive onto which RH 6.2 retail standard was recently installed successfully. I was doing a complete reinstall (not an upgrade). The system briefly is: 800Mhz EB coppermine PIII flip-chip PPGA CPU, 256MB pc133 DIMM RAM, 61.4GB maxtor diamondmax 60 EIDE ATA66/ATA100 drive, DVD-ROM/CD-ROM, floppy, ASUS CUSL2 MB, intel 815E chipset. To repeat, RH6.2 installed without any issues on this system. Checked the errata and there are no install errata at this time. Tried the install from CDROM boot and floppy boot, in text and GUI mode, all attempts were in expert mode with "custom" selected. The RH 7.0 anaconda program in text or GUI mode encountered an exceptional condition during install right after completing the file system creation step. The dialog box said it is probably a bug and to report it using bugzilla.redhat.com. I chose the save option and this is the text that was saved to the floppy: 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') Local variables in innermost frame: fsystem: /mnt/sysimage//win2k ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
