I have just attempted to upgrade my work machine from RH6.0 to RH6.1. The install program crashes at the point where it is trying to find the existing installation. It fails when trying to check out partition /dev/sda6 which is an NTFS partition. The root partition is actually on /dev/sda1. I was not able to work around this bug by using expert mode either, as the search for existing installations is still done automatically. The error message is: Error mounting ext2 filesystem on sda6: Invalid argument The traceback is: File "/usr/bin/anaconda.real", line 225, in ? intf.run ( todo, test = test) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 1000, in run rc = apply (step[1](), step[2]) File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py", line 222, in __call__ parts = todo.upgradeFindRoot() File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py", line 1130, in upgradeFindRoot isys.umount('/mnt/sysimage') File "/tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/isys.py", line 8, in umount return _isys.umount(what) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument')
