From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Description of problem: Using the following hardware, on a Prolaint 1600R, with Dual 450Mhz P2 processors 390M of RAM NCR53C8xx-based SCSI Controllers The installer with RedHat 7.1 kicks back the error similar to "a serious error has occured attempting to format /. Press any key to reboot". I tried several raid configurations: Two 9.1 gig drives partitioned several ways. If I define them as non-raid, those partitions format fine, but the installer "errors-out" as soon as it tries to format any raid partition. Thinking that it might be something to do with the drives, I pulled the two 9.1 gigs and tried the procedure on three 2.1 gigs -- same thing. It does not seem to matter if I try raid 0 or 5, the installer cannot format. Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated. sincerely yours, Hari Boukis Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run Installer from CD. Configure Raid Drives. 2. Continue to point of formatting partions 3. Fail and reboot Actual Results: Cannot get past format for the RAID drives. Formatting of Non-RAID drives completes fine. Additional info: This is the same BUG found in RH 7.0. Bug was reported in Bugzilla ID# 41117 . Issue was closed with recommended using current 7.1 version. I could not figure out how to reopen ID 41117, so I am continuing this issue here. It still exists in 7.1.
Can you attach the traceback message if possible? It may be the same bug as bug #41117, but the line numbers will have changed, so having the traceback for 7.1 would be very helpful.
