From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705) Description of problem: Listing 2 problems when installing RH 7.3 Partitioning: Autopartitioning unallocated space. Before the file copying process, when the partitions are being created, error " Unable to mount /hdb1; Partition may be already formatted(...)". Strange soluction: manually creating partitions with Partition Magic 7 and then simply assigning mount points seems to work. RPMs: see the attached dump. Error "rpm.error: cannot open" (in .iso with both MD5sum/linux-mediacheck being successful) in a simple installation (Worstation & KDE). Andre Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installation from CD-ROM. Additional info: 10Gb Western Digital Drive running as Slave in Main IDE Channel. Plextor PX1210 CD-ROM.

Just a note: the "rpm.error: cannot open" error happens in the end of the "Copying image file to hard disk" (or similar). Andre
I would recommend testing your CDs: http://people.redhat.com/~msf/mediacheck.html
As stated in the Bug description: "(in .iso with both MD5sum/linux-mediacheck being successful)" But it's weird, yes. Andre
My apologies I overlooked that information. Any ideas Jeremy?
A sidenote, none of these problems occured with RedHat 7.2. I'll try 8.0 when possible. Andre
It's related to the cramfs errors in the syslog -- how did you boot the system?
Master CD-ROM, set as #1 boot device. Graphic installation, afterwards. Andre
This is a media/CD drive issue. You may want to consider trying a different CD drive or brand of CD media. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 75008 ***
