From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 Description of problem: When installing Redhat8.0 on a Sony Picturebook PCG-C1MV, the installer (anaconda) will crash if it attempts to install RPMS from the second disk. After several(five or six) tries, I finally got an install which did not require anything on the second disk, and it installed flawlessly. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.anaconda starts to install the rpm files from cdrom 2.process goes fine until time to switch disks 3.when rpm is encountered that is on second cd, anaconda crashes Actual Results: anaconda crashed, dropping me back to shell, and rebooting the system. Expected Results: A dialog should have appeared asking me to switch to disk 2 Additional info: The bug was encountered no matter how the computer was configured, how the partition table was created (ie automatic or by hand) or what computer type you picked(desktop, workstation server)
Have you tested your media? http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/mediacheck.html
Yes, I checked all of the cds, they all passed. finally, here is the error message: Traceback( most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 786, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py", line 149 in renderCallback self.intf.icw.nextClicked() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 632, in nextClicked self.dispatch.gotoNext() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 150, in gotoNext self.moveStep() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py", line 215, in moveStep rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args)) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 719, in doinstall problems = ts.run(0, ~rpm.RPMPROB_FILTER_DISKSPACE, cb, cb, 0) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/packages.py", line 283, in cb fn = self.method.getFilename(h, self.pkgTimer) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/image.py", line 119, in getFilename f = open("/mnt/source/.discinfo") IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/mnt/source/.discinfo' There is a diskspace error, however, after installing a bare-bones system, booting and then installing the rest of the system from within linux, I had no problems, and even now, after installing pretty much everything in sight, my disks are all below 40% usage... One possible problem with this particular computer is the 112 MB of ram, but I wouldn't think that would be a problem..
