Description of Problem: Failed attempt to install Linux 7 How Reproducible: did the steps below twice and got exactly the same result. Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot from floppy witn CD 1 of operating system install 2. Create 3 partitions using Disk Druid as on Figure 5-8 of the Linux 7 Installation Guide (page 44). 3. Select both partitions to Format on screen in Figure 5-9 4. Continued with install until I got to the Ready to Install screen (Figure 5-21 on page 61). Clicked Next. CD light went on and next I got the message: Error mounting hda5 - invalid agruement. The installer said this was probably a bug. I asked that a trace be written to floppy. I have pasted the contents of the floppy below and will attach the file when I get the chance. 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: 923296 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 8497e10> msg: Invalid argument doFormat: 0 errno: 22 device: hda5 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: / ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed> 3.
