It appears you were installing from ISO images on the partition /dev/sda5. However later in the installation it could no longer see this device, causing the error. What is the hardware configuration of your system?
Firstly thank you very much! My Hardware info is: Laptop: DELL 2650/P41.7G/256DDR/8MG2Go/20GIDE Installation process: 1. Download iso1,2,3 and stored them into my USB MASS Storage(IBM 30G HD) folder: linux; 2. Boot from Partition2(FAT32) and run AUTOBOOT.bat to start installing RH; 3. in Media select step, choose /dev/sda5 (that's my usb's first logic partition); and input directory name: linux 4. It seems that installer recorgnized the usb driver(by log file), and while run Partition Tool , system crashed and display an unexpected error...
We will have to see if we have the equipment to reproduce this problem - you might find it better to burn the ISOs onto CDs and try to install that way.
Does your system have scsi hard drives?
Closing due to inactivity. Please reopen if you have any further information to add to this bug report
I have this same problem, trying to install via "hard disk" method with ISOs on an Iomega 80GB HDD usb drive. The install program can access the drive at first, then I get the error as above.
