Upon starting the installation for the first time, I got through to the package installation, whereby it erred. This was before I checked for the updates disk, so after obtaining and placing that .img onto a disk, I tried again. The disk was used when indicated, but anaconda wouldn't even start up with this, and erred. It repeated this another time, then on the third try, it went okay. Then it got back to the package installation, and proceeded to hang again, with this output: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 438, in ? intf.run(todo, test = test) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__ File "/tmp/updates/todo.py", line 1491, in doInstall self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/tmp/updates/fstab.py", line 705, in mountFilesystems isys.losetup("/tmp/loop1", "/mnt/loophost/redhat.img") File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 46, in losetup targ = os.open(file, mode) OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/loophost/redhat.img' Local variables in innermost frame: file: /mnt/loophost/redhat.img mode: 2 readonly: 0 device: /tmp/loop1 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iharddrive HardDriveInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'fstype' p6 S'vfat' p7 sS'isMounted' p8 I0 sS'fnames' p9 (dp10 <failed> I tried another two times, both with and without updates disk. Both times led to the same error, as above. I'm running the installation on an Intel Celeron 400mHz, it's to be set up as dual-boot (RedHat 7.0 and Win98), with a partitionless install. Ctrl+Alt+F4 showed a message about EXT2. Ctrl+Alt+F3 showed 'Autopartitioning failed' and it reported being unable to produce /boot, /, or /Swapfile-000 because of lack of space. [I don't think the third named partition is called that; I'm relying on memory here, I'm unsure of what it is..] The partitioning screen that appears during install also reported that my Windows partition had no free space, even though there is 1.35GB left on the drive according to Win98.
Are you putting the '/' mount point on the same partition as you are doing the hard drive install from?
I am doing, yes.. I only have the one drive/partition, so I'm sure of that..
This is not supported in 7.0. You might want to look at bug 18053. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 18053 ***
