From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en]C-CCK-MCD (WinNT; U) Description of problem: In a custom install of 7.0, after / has formatted, after /home has formatted, <swap> cannot finish formatting a window pops up that suggests that a bug is probable and shows code start ing with "Traceback(inner most last):" Error message includes: lsys.py, return_isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem) SystemError: (2,'No such File or directory') Note: the 6GB hard drive is removable. I chose toformat it as hda1 (/), hda2 (<swap>) and hda3 (/home). Version 5 Red Hat was on this drive, but I did not choose upgrade; I chose custom install. There is a 4GB drive in the other bay. It has Win98 installed. I chose to mount it as /win (hdc). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 0. Install using 'boot.img' on a floppy (drive-a) 1.Work through standard, custom install, using disk utility to assign '/' to hda1, <swap> to hda2, '/home' to hda3 and '/win' to hdc, the second hard drive (also removable). 2. Select '/' and '/home' to format 3. Select INSTALL (finish) 4. watch as messages cycle through "formatting /", "formatting /home" and finally "formatting swap" Actual Results: installation is interrupted with a popup window, stating that there is probably a bub and showing script text (attached). Closing this box closes the system and reboots. If the boot.img disk is removed, LILO boots until these messages show: "unable to opoen initial console" and then "Kernal panic: no init found. Try passing init= to kernal. However, with the exception of cntl-alt-del, there does not appear to be any stdin from the keyboard. ALSO: early in the LIL:O boot, these messages appear: "Ram Disk compressed image found at block 0" and "EXT2-fs warning: checktime reached, running e2fsck recommended" Expected Results: Linux should hav been installed on hda (disk 1). Additional info: Pentium 586, 166-mHz, 48mB RAM, Netgear card, Diamond Speedstar 24 w/ 1mB (old). Two removable and swapopable hard drives, one with Linux RHv5 (was working, I expect it is dead now) the other disk drive has Win98 installed.
