Similar to many other bugs entered on the installer - begs the questions - was the installer ever tested and _when_ will they be fixed so I can finish my upgrade? Upgrading from 6.0 to 6.1 from local hard disk. Get to the point of the dialog with "Searching for..." after selecting a device and directory to install from. Get the messages: Error mounting ext2 filesystem on sda1: Invalid argument Then the traceback: /usr/bin/anaconda.real line 225 in ? intf.run (todo, test = test) /tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py line 1000 in run rc = apply(step[1](), step[2]) /tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/text.py line 222 in __call__ parts = todo.upgradeFindRoot() /tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/todo.py line 1130 in upgradeFindRoot isys.umount('/mnt/sysimage') /tmp/lib/python1.5/site-packages/isis.py line 8 in umount return _isys.umount(what) SystemError = (22, 'Invalid Argument') install exited abnormally.... you may safely reboot... The disk it was trying to mount - sda1 - is *not* an ext2 partition, it's an NT partition.
