Have repeatedly tried to install Red Hat Linux 7 (new delux edition)on brand new hp pavilion 6830. See also my tech support records under name "friscojohn". Trying to do "partitionless install". Celeron processor, 700 mhz. 20 gig ultra dma hd. 64 megs ram. Windows ME. Computer repeatedly hangs about 1/3 through the install. Have used latest anaconca update file. Current error message reads: Traceback (innermost last): File"/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//user/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line20 in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File '/temp/updates/todo.py",line 1488, in doinstall self.fstab.makeFilesystems () File "/temp/updates/fstab.py", line 645, in makeFilesystems (self.progressWindow,_("Loopback"), File "/user/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 78,in ddfile os.write(fd,buf) OSError Errno 27] File too large This is not the same error message I got before adding the update file, but the freeze seemed to happen in the same place, and anaconda seems involved. If I can be of further assistance, please feel free to call me at 415-716-2090. Thanks
What sizes did you use for the partitionless loop back filesystem and swap size?
The defaults, which were 7815 and 32.
Hmm, I think the total size cannot be larger than 2000K. Try making them 1950 and 32 and see if it works. (The installer is supposed to impose this limit).
Closing due to inactivity.
