From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.5 [en] (Win95; I) Description of problem: Installation fails with Traceback, at the "Installing Packages" Screen Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select Workstation Install 2. Select Partition with Disk Druid 3. Create /boot, / and /tmp partitions Actual Results: Fails with traceback an package installation screen. It appears that the installation procedure is creating a "/tmp" directory and using it as scratchpad and that the "/tmp" partition overmounts that directory causing the "scratchpad" to become inaccessible. Expected Results: Install packages and complete installation. Either a warning should be issued, against creating a "/tmp" filesystem, or procedures put in place to allow it's creation without blowing the install. Additional info: 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 1470, in doInstall self.fstab.turnOnSwap() File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 406, in turnOnSwap isys.swapon (file) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/isys.py", line 142, in swapon return _isys.swapon (path) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: path: /tmp/swap/hda6 ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3
