User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Q312461)

Description of problem:
after entering all options, and pressing 'continue' to begin the actual 
installation, an error msg dialog box appears that offers option to create a 
floppy and submit that to Bugzilla.
I'm attaching the resulting text file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.reboot computer with RH Binary CD 1 of 2 
2.select custom installation
3.
	

Additional info:

I had previously upgraded from 6.1 to 7.1 with only one 9GB SCSI drive.  Had 
some file space issues that I 'worked around' by deselecting a number of 
packages during the upgrade.

 I recently added a second SCSI hard drive. I partitioned it with fdisk and was 
able to format and mount all the partitions and copy directories and files 
between disks, so the disk seems OK.

My problem occured when I attempted to perform a new install (custom 
installation).  I've gone thru the same motions three times with the same 
failure each time.

Are you reformatting your partitions when you are doing this new install?

Comment 3 George Clark 2002-05-23 19:33:11 UTC
Yes, after using Druid to set mount points, I checked all the partitions for 
formating on the following setup screen.

Since submitting the bug report, I tried disconnecting the second drive and 
managed a successful new install on just the original drive.  Next, I'm going 
to experiment with two drives again.

Comment 4 Michael Fulbright 2002-05-29 16:50:10 UTC
Do you happen to know if you are using the drive select feature of your IDE drives?

Comment 5 Michael Fulbright 2002-07-15 16:47:14 UTC
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have additional information to
add to this report.
