From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529 Description of problem: During a text mode install using .iso images from hard disk on another partition, I get an "Error: Failed to read directory /mnt/source: No such file or directory [OK]". Installation succeeds after OKing the Error, so it should be just a warning instead. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install "(null)" beta from hard disk using .iso images on another partition. Floppy boot "linux askmethod", then choose hard disk. 2. Source directory has only the first 3 .iso images. 3. Actual Results: "Error: Failed to read directory /mnt/source: No such file or directory [OK]"; but OKing the Error gives an installation which is apparently good. Expected Results: Only a warning message, instead of the Error. Or, an explanation of how the installation will be impaired if I proceed. Additional info:
At what point do you get this error? I went all the way to the partitioning screen and did not see it.
I reproduced it again: floppy boot.img linux askmethod English language us keyboard hard drive install partition hda7, directory "null" Error: Failed to read directory /mnt/source: No such file or directory OK (dismiss error) Running anaconda, the RedHat ... The installation target partion is /dev/hda3, a primary partition; but that has not been communicated to the installer yet. The .iso images are on /dev/hda7, a logical partition in an Extended partition.
I am having the very same issue on a toshiba portege 3490ct, I have tried ftp, nfs, http and finally from the hda2 on the machine. Exact same error and behavour when I try and install fro, the HD. I can consistantly reproduce it and I haven't found a way around it as yet. Tholmes
I have not had any problems with HD iso based installs.
