I downloaded the fixes from the Red Hat site for the Anaconda install and booted them. However, those fixes still didn't fix my problem. I used the generic keyboard, the generic ps/2 three button mouse, I did a partitionless install, and tried installing KDE by itself, KDE AND GNOME, and Gnome by itself, and got the same message everytime. I receieve the message while CREATING LOOPBACK FILE SYSTEM ON DEVICE /DEV/HDA1... HERE'S THE ERROR: Trace back (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 "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 1488 in doInstall self.fstab.makeFilesystems () File "/tmp/ipdates/fstab.py", line 645, in makeFilesystems (self.progreeeWindow,_("loopback"), File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 78 in ddfile os.write(fd, buf) OSError: [errno 27] File too large NOTE: There is more to the error(not much judging by the scroll bar) but due to the system halting everytime, I am unable to scroll down, click ok, click debug, or click save to floppy. Please get back to me. I would love to take advantage of Linux. If there is any additional information needed, please email back. Thank you!
This is a dupe of bug 19577. Would you please give step by step instructions on how to reproduce this problem. Include information on the size and physical location of the partitions you used.
