Could you attach your /etc/fstab file please?
Created attachment 91908 [details] /etc/fstab from RH 7.3 I tried the upgrade with "LABEL=/ / ..." and with "/dev/hda3 / ..." without change in behavior. -- Seppo P.
I added /etc/fstab as an attachment. I'll try next with just 'ext2' for / and /boot...

I removed 'ext3' from the fstab entries and that did the trick! So, now I have RH9.0 installed and running (with ext3) I only wish that 'anaconda' would be more informative in its error messages ;( I think this bug can be closed now... -- Seppo P.
Updating subject to reflect root cause.
Fixed in CVS
Mass-closing lots of old bugs which are in MODIFIED (and thus presumed to be fixed). If any of these are still a problem, please reopen or file a new bug against the release which they're occurring in so they can be properly tracked.
