I'm at a loss... almost!
I've had one more thought: Maybe you've somehow messed up the various
Linux partitions on your hard disc, making them overlap and/or go off
the end of the disc.
I believe the RedHat installer looks at the first few bytes of every RPM
file it sees. It will probably fail with this 'no installation tree'
message if you've accidentally overwritten some RPM file data while,
say, initialising your swap partition.
As it happens, I've got a 3GB drive which, like yours, is split into 2GB
ADFS and 1GB Linux. !PartMan displays the following:
Disk size: 3078, 6253 Cylinders, 16 Heads,
63 Sectors, Sector size: 512 bytes
1 0 4082399 1993 MB Filecore
2 4082400 4082401 1 KB Linux Table
3 4082402 6236898 1052 MB Linux Native
4 6236899 6303023 32 MB Linux Swap
If the partitions are OK, I can't think of anything else which might
cause the problem - sorry.
Cheers,
Richard
