The exception cited above may have been fixed by using the fix to anaconda cited in advisory RHBA-2000:084-04. I ran the install again, supplying the anaconda update at the boot prompt and did not get the exception. Again I was not installing LILO. This time I edited the mount points differently, adding mount points for the FAT32 portions: /dos_c hda1 21461 21461 WIN95FAT32 /boot hda2 16 23 Linux native <swap> hda5 125 125 Linux native / hda6 1 21320 Linux native /dos_d hdc1 6149 6149 WIN95FAT32 The install still did not work but that is another problem. |
This was second install attempt. 1st had gone into neverland. Disk Druid had done the partitions1st time around, but the mount points were blank. On this attempt I elected not to install LILO due to EZ-BIOS (I have a 46G Maxtor w/cylinder limit jumper, GRRR!). I edited the mount points in as: hda1 21461 21461 WIN95FAT32 /boot hda2 16 23 Linux native <swap> hda5 125 125 Linux native / hda6 1 21320 Linux native hdc1 6149 6149 WIN95FAT32 here is the exception trace: 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: 21832303 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 84b9248> msg: Invalid argument doFormat: 0 errno: 22 device: hda6 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: / ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
