anacdump.txt
after moving the severn-i386-disc[12].iso from '/dev/sda3' to '/dev/hdb4' fdisk (diskdruid) works now, but "sda" is lost :-( while choosing the severn-iso - partitions "sda*" are shown but diskdruid shows only "hda" "hdb" the next brake will be "there is no cd #3" Do you have any other SCSi drives on the system? no :( perhaps hdd=ide-scsi grep "hdd" anacdump.txt <6> ide1: BM-DMA at 0xe808-0xe80f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:DMA <4>hdd: SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-408B, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive <4>hdd: attached ide-cdrom driver. <6>hdd: ATAPI 32X CD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA * trying to mount device hdd Try adding 'expert' to the boot command line. We basically throw out USB HD devices in the installer since we don't want people installing to them (this just causes more trouble later). If you specify 'expert' then we allow them. BTW - BE SURE to deselect the USB HD from the list of drives that automatic partitioning uses or it could possibly erase the contents of the USB drive! "linux expert" ok :-) the usb-ide-hd sda3 is now available for further hd-iso-installation while and after the partitioning --> no_crash thanks. your info about the usb-storage-devices should be available via [F2-Options] or [F3-General] about partitioning: i choose manual-partitioning, the new created partition " / hda5" and the existing "swap"-partition are selected for formatting, this is ok, i deselect the swap --> no problems Well expert mode has changed its meaning over time, and we've never been comfortable documenting its behavior. Its there as a 'relief valve' if someone runs into a problem like you did. It really is not recommended or supported to create filesystems in anaconda on removable media. |
