I'm unable to install SL4.7 via the url method. Originally, I thought it was
something to do with our local mirror but I've tried it against
http://ftp.scientificlinux.org and I get exactly the same error.
The Alt-F4 (?) screen shows the following (I'm copying it from a Ctrl-S screen,
so typos galore) :
URL_STAGE_MAIN- url is http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/47/i386

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org//linux/scientific/47/i386/SL/base/product.img to

umounting loopback /mnt/runtime loop0
umount loopback /tmp/product-disk loop7
LOOP_CLR_FD failed for /tmp/product-disk loop7 (No such device or address)
and it just keeps repeating itself over and over again. I noticed that it
first mounted loop7 on update-disk, then tried to umount it as product-disk.
Is this a typo in anaconda?
I've posted this before maybe a year ago with SL4.6 which IIRC also does not
work. I believed it worked with SL4.5. And, I know for a fact it works with
SL5.x
Hi Ken,
At what point in the install is this?
I'm thinking this is just after you've given it the url, but before the
graphical install part starts. Is that correct?
Do you get the same errors using ftp instead of http?
(ftp is terrible for SL5, but SL4 the speed is pretty close)
