During install, having a Zip drive apparently confused the installer. During partitioning, no mention was made of the Zip drive. After package selection and X configuration, I got: Formatting / filesystem Formatting /boot filesystem Transferring install image to hard drive Setting up RP transaction Then I got a dialog box that said Error opening /tmp/sdb: No medium found [ Retry ] [ Cancel ] I clicked cancel, and after a minute or so it went on (the first time I had this happen I rebooted before it went on). The text console (Alt-F1) said: Error Error opening /tmp/sdb: No medium found 80 This system is all SCSI, with ID 1: IBM DGVS09U (9G drive) ID 2: Pioneer DVD-303S (DVD-ROM drive) ID 4: Plextor PX-W124TS (external CD-RW) ID 5: Iomega Zip 100 (external Zip drive) This happened the two times I've tried installing on this system, so it appears to be 100% reproducible here. Let me know if I can test anything for you.
Parted drive scanning bug Matt?
(has to be rc1 since rc2 isn't out yet :-) But, this should be fixed in RC2 when it's out
