This is not s 4Suite problem.
Is this with the final 7.1 release? There are quite a few reports of this with the beta release of 7.1 but I have not seen it since then as it's fixed in the final release.
Distribution is 7.0 Guinness. Please advise how to proceed.
A install updates disk is available from ftp://people.redhat.com/ewt/anaconda-vfat-label-fix.img To use it, dd this disk to a floppy, boot a standard boot disk into the install by typing "linux updates" at the syslinux boot prompt.The install process will ask you to insert the updates disk when it's needed. Please let us know if this fixes this problem. dupe of 18032
I'm back. And forget the fix to 7.0. I noted that my distribution was red hat 7.0. I discovered that I had a distribution 7.1 in the cdroms from the book "red hat linux 7.1 bible" by Christopher Negus. So I decided to load that instead. I loaded this to my second disk, which appears as /hdc in the disk druid panel. First attempts were unsuccessful due to allowing too little space in the /boot and /usr partitions, but expanding them led to a successful installation, with one large problem. In order to keep /hda working WINNT, I placed the boot in the /boot partition, not in the /hda MBR. I think that was the reason that the installation software was unable to create a boot disk. And I can't either. I can't load command.com and the other system files, loadlin, vmlinuz, and initrd.img all on a 1.44MB floppy. What advice do you have?
