sorry no emailaddress is listed in the mandrakeexpert database for the originator of this report. ----quoted text below---- car2880 : 20/09 09:00 : Incident created Product \'Mandrake Linux 9.0 RC 3\' My install has just failed for the 5th time. (Not to mention the dozen failed installs with the beta.) I don't have the list of packages that I had chosen for these failures, because the package list save requires a formatted floppy (Why? mkfs.vfat is there!). 1: - Hang w/ about 70 packages left. "dynamic" rpm was the last one 2:DrakX should not have to clean the packages shit. Killing ... /usr/lib/gconf bad package ORBit during the bootsplash rpm install "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" - Hang w/ about 15 packages left. 3: - Questionable error message: "DrakX should not have to clean the packages shit. Killing ... /usr/lib/gconf bad package ORBit" during the bootsplash rpm install "Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference" Hung on unmount filesystems. "Failed to unmount some filesystems." I rebooted, and was greeted with this error after booting linux-secure "Uncompressing Linux crc error --- System Halted" The other lilo choices failed as well I rebooted with the bootdisk I created during the install. "This is not a bootable disk. Please insert bootable floppy". 4: I try the auto (replay) install floppy I created. Spins through and stops at DrakX. My USB Wheel mouse is not configured, and so I'm not confortable continuing. So I reboot. 5: Repeat installation with package list from install. (I used mkfs.vfat manually from a tty) Same results as installation #3. My system is a home-built EPOX 8KHA/1.4 Athlon/768 Meg ram/100gig WD1000BB My partition table looks like this: 94 meg / 94 meg (future) 94 meg (future) 94 meg (future) 200 meg /boot 380 meg /swap Remaining is LVM LVM: 4 gig /usr 4 gig /var 4 gig /home Previously I had RC2 installed (after numerous other issues), but after a hang/reboot/filesystem check/lost files under /var, I decided to wait for RC3. So, any ideas? -----end quoted text----- -- Alan
