During a text only install (I'm doing a new install of 7.0 over a 6.2 install that was working great.... but whose upgrading was failing due to file systems supposedly not being shut down properly... so as per RedHat installation support I'm doing a clean install during which I reformat the / /usr and /var partitions) of RedHat 7.0, I am repeatedly getting the following error message dialog box after doing a custom selection of desired packages: EXCEPTION OCCURRED An internal error occurred in the installation program. Please report this error to Red Hat (through the bugzilla.redhat.com web site) as soon as possible. The information on this failure may be saved to a floppy disk, and will help Red Hat in fixing the problem. Contents of the stuff saved to disk are as follows (sorry for the bad formatting ... now my intel box is dead so I am copy / pasting while on a Mac): Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/ anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__ if 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// scratch ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'currentDisc' p6 I1 sS'tree' p7 S'/mnt/ source' sS'device' p8 S'hdb' sS'progressWindow' p9 <failed> Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.
