From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Description of problem: I am installing this system (redhat linux 7.0) on a system which has a MAXTOR 7400 40 gig drive on it. I am using half the drive for windows and want to use the rest for linux. I have installed this package on this system before and everything went fine, so I suspect the drive has something to do with it. The system gave me an option to write the system state to floppy and I did ,but what do I do with it? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.do the install , when you get to the 'loading packages' (the computer riped up with a guy inside I get this message. 2. 3. Actual Results: The system shuts down, and then restarts. Since there is no operating system it just starts again. Expected Results: I should be running linux Additional info: This is what I get displayed after the failure............ Traceback (innermost last): File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 20, in run rc = self.todo.doInstall () File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1472, in doInstall self.fstab.mountFilesystems (self.instPath) File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/fstab.py", line 713, in mountFilesystems raise SystemError, (errno, msg) SystemError: (22, 'Invalid argument') Local variables in innermost frame: size: 4096512 fsystem: ext2 self: <fstab.GuiFstab instance at 842a7c0> msg: Invalid argument doFormat: 0 errno: 22 device: hda8 instPath: /mnt/sysimage mntpoint: / ToDo object: (itodo ToDo p1 (dp2 S'method' p3 (iimage CdromInstallMethod p4 (dp5 S'progressWindow' p6 <failed>
Created attachment 55369 [details] This is what the install said to "save to Floppy"
Very sorry, my fault (I guess), My wife came hiome and said that I needed to format the disk, with 'block checking' .. when that was selected everything worked fine. My appologies.............
