Description Tim Brown 2001-01-30 04:15:06 UTC
While installing RH Linux Server 7.0 I get the following dump.  This 
occurs after the partitions formatted.  I am installing the US English 
version.  Looks to me like it wants a directory that isn't there.  
Hardware is Pentium 133, 64 MB RAM, 8GB HD (linux), 400 MB HD (DOS-16), S3 
868 video card with 4MB, Dell 868 SVGA Monitor, Realtek 10Mb, Realtek 
10/100Mb, and MS Bus mouse detected as generic PS/2.  Booting from CD ROM 
which is IDS as are the HD's.

Dump Text:
Traceback (innermost last):

Was /home a formatted ext2 partition?

Comment 2 Tim Brown 2001-01-31 02:24:38 UTC
My guess is, probably so.  I can't check right now.  The system had ManDrake 
Linux 7.2 on it before the Server install.  Should I blow away the partitions 
before the install of the 7.0 RH server?

Comment 3 Tim Brown 2001-01-31 04:58:28 UTC
Deleted all partitions from the old Mandrake installation using DiskDruid and 
the install did not fail. Thx for your help.
