Description of problem:
I am trying to install RH 7.1 from a CD.  The jumpstart installer fails 
during formatting the partitions.  This is after I have selected all 
options and the formatting actually starts.  It my have to do with the 
formatting of the swap system.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Try to install
2.  After all options selected, format begins
	

Actual Results:  System fails with Anaconda exception "SystemError: 
(2, 'No such file or directory')"

Expected Results:  Installation should have continued

This bug is with 7.0, not 7.1.  Changing versions.

Comment 2 Brent Fox 2001-10-23 03:36:23 UTC
This is a dupe of bug #18032.

A install updates disk is available from

	ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/anaconda-vfat-label-fix.img

To use it, dd this disk to a floppy, boot a standard boot disk into the install
by typing "linux updates" at the syslinux boot prompt.The install process
will ask you to insert the updates disk when it's needed.
