Could not install Linux RH 7.0 over a win98 OS computer, having 2 SCSI disks of 2,5Gb and 1,5Gb. It was OK if Linux formated the disks, since win98 succs and i wanted to get rid of it, i even ran fdisk manualy, but the error remained. This errormessage came up on 5 different installation attempts. error message that was written to floppydisk said: 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: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: size: 899608 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 84b94b0> msg: Invalid argument doFormat: 1 errno: 22 device: sda6 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: /home ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> Please help me, so that I can install Linux RH xxx.

This has nothing to do with the mount package, reassigning.
What steps are required to reproduce this bug? This is a dupe of bug 16686, btw.
