Description of problem: I tried to install RH 8.0, from CD ROM, in a Pentium III 666MHz, 64MB RAM computer and IDE/ATAPI disk drive with 10GB. When it was about to install it gave an traceback error that I will reproduce. I tried the same process 4 times with the same error. I searched for this error and patches here in Bugzilla and the internet. This error was present in previous versions of the installer and was suppossed to occur when less than 250MB were assigned to the /root partition, but as you can see I assigned 4500MB to that partition. Thanks for reading. I hope it can be fixed. Regards, Luis Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Red Hat Linux 8.0 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Installer correctly detected monitor, mouse and keyboard. 2. I selected Spanish as the language for installation. Same with keyboard. 3. Selected a 2 button generic PS2 mouse with 3 button emulation. 4. Selected personal desktop type installation. 5. Relied on automatic partitioning keeping all existing partitions and using free space, with the following result: hda1 MSDOS/Windows 4800 MB(aprox) hda2 /boot 102MB hda3 / 4500MB (aprox) hda4 swap partition 188MB 6. Selected GRUB loader (no password, no advanced options) 7. Left default network and firewall configuration. 8. Language support spanish and Spain's time zone. 9. Set root password and created user account. 10. Customized package group selection, which mainly included X-Windows, Gnome, KDE and other utilities. No server or development tools. 11. Hit Install and obtained the error message. Actual results: This is the error message I obtained (it didn't allow to save to floppy, so I may have copied it wrong): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py", line 786, in handleRenderCallback self.currentWindow.renderCallback() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_qui.py", line 149, in renderCallback self.intf.iew.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 430, in turnOnFilesystems partitions.doMetaDeletes(diskset) File "/usr/lib/anaconda/lvm.py", line 54, in vgactivate searchPath = 1 File "/usr/lib/anaconda/iutil.py", line 66, in execWithRedirect childpid = os.fork() OSError: [Erno 12] No se pudo asignar memoria The last phrase means something like "Memory could not be assigned". Expected results: Packages should have been saved correctly.
