Results: traceback Expected Results: search for other RH installations. Computer is a multi-boot (LILO) system: Win ME/RH 6.0/RH Wolverine/Mandrake 7.2. Windows occupies the first 2 HDs. Linux systems have the last (3rd) drive. 384MB RAM - PIII 800. All HDs are IDE. CD is SCSI - HP 9210i. Also has an OnStream SC30i attached to the Advansys controller for backups. Have had no problems installing/running RH 6.0/RH Wolverine or MDK 7.2. Linux file systems were carved using PARTED v1.4.9.
This looks like a dupe of bug #20006. Did you get the traceback after selecting a partition or before you even made a selection?
Was never given the chance to select a partition. Also, i've looked at bug #20006 and they do appear similar, but after reading the comments am not so sure. I have no RAID0 partitions on that drive.
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 20006 ***
Sorry, you are right...this is related, but not an exact dupe.
When the traceback occurs, if you goto VC2 (cntl-alt-f2) and type 'mount', what is the output?
Found the problem - It was a screwed up ext2 file system on /dev/hdc14. Just my opinion: It would be nice if Anaconda could give the user more intelligent feedback when it finds errors (like bad file systems), instead of undecipherable Tracebacks and making us file bug reports.
