I repartitioned and formatted with a competing (older) linux version, waiting for rh7. I chose not to re-format, since the partitions (2 ext2 and 1 swap) should have been empty. After the screen saying that it was my last chance to exit - it was going to over-write everything by installing, it crashed. I tried again, formatting all 3 linux partitions, and had NO problems. Machine: Cyrix M2-300, 128MB, i439TX/371AB chipset hard disks: 8.4GB IDE primary master, hda, partitions: 2G hda1 type ext2; remainder, hda2, type FAT32 520MB pri slave, hdb, partitions: 130M swap, remainder is ext boot method: CDROM linux started with mem=128M Here is the text it said to post: ================= Traceback (innermost last:) File "/var/temp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/Progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc=self.todo.doinstall() File "/var/temp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1472, in doInstall() self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/var/temp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 713, in mountFilesystems raise SystemError, (errno, msg) System Error: (22,'invalid argument')
