Description of Problem: install fails at final step complaining can't create /dev/mouse Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: at end of each attempted install Steps to Reproduce: 1. IDE CD install 7.1 distribution, expert nofb lowres 2. auto partition 3. Actual Results: attached file system requested to be logged with bugzilla Expected Results: Additional Information:
Created attachment 45779 [details] traceback from install
What type of install was this and what sort of mouse did you select to be configured?
install type: custom, install everything mouse type: ps/2 2 button, emulate 3 buttons YES
And it's completely reproducible (ie if you run the install again does it continue to happen)? Also, you might try not using expert since expert provides very little differing functionality.
From email -- From: Brian Marshall <brian.au> To: katzj Subject: [Bug 59925] Changed Status - install fail on mouse device Date: 20 Feb 2002 09:38:31 +0800 Thanks for your new comments. Now I have more serious trouble, the install is hanging up part way through at random positions while installing the packages, so I can't get back to the end again at the moment to further reproduce the mouse problem. The reason I'm using expert mode is that if I use standard mode, the GUI goes mostly black early in the process, with buttons highlighting yellow as you float over them with the mouse). I've found that if I use expert mode that this does not happen (that part is definitely 100% reproducible). Can you advise if linear mode should be used for a Seagate ST15150N SCSI drive?
This is sound a lot like you have a bad CD or a dodgy CD-ROM drive. You might try booting with 'linux ide=nodma nofb lowres'. Expert mode has nothing to do at all with the X setup, so that just sounds even more like CD problems. As to linear mode, you generally want linear unless your drive is more than about 7 years old, which is why we finally removed the check box in Red Hat Linux 7.2
