Description Ray Curtis 2000-12-21 02:29:05 UTC
On my first try at the install, the machine I used had both scsi
and IDE disks.
I tried the upgrade since I had 6.9 installed from the previous
beta .
When it got to the section on where to install it only offered the
SCSI drives to upgrade.
I had another copy of Linux installed on those drives so didn't
want those. I wanted to install to the IDE drive.

I then tried a workstation install and that worked of course it
erased the drive before doing the install.

Were you trying to upgrade or install?

If you were trying to upgrade, what partitions had a previous version of Red Hat
Linux on them?

####################### SDB ############################################# 
 
/dev/sdb2               /backup                 ext2    defaults        1 2 
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0

####################### HDA ############################################# 
 
/dev/hda1               /win                    vfat   
noauto,user,rw,uid=500,gid=500,umask=000        1 1 
/dev/hda3               /test                   ext2   noauto,user,exec,rw 1 2 
 

As you can see I have two scsi's and one IDE drive, sda has a copy of 
RedHat 6.2 and sdb is just a mirrored copy of sda.
hda1 is a windows partition and hda3 is the partition I was using to
try to upgrade from a 6.9 beta to florence.

I hope I have explained it here, I tried this twice with the same thing
it always tried to do the upgrade to sda without allowing me to choose.

thank you for your efforts to document this problem ... can you reproduce this
problem with an upgrade from the final Red Hat Linux 7 ...? 

(upgrades to betas from official past releases are very important for us to
service properly, as beta to beta upgrades have typically had high signal/noise
upgrade issues)
