FC 9 Installation IOError: [Errno 5] Input/output error

Hallo, I try to install Fedora 9 on a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Xi2550 using a DVD. I use text bases installation due to Radeon HD2700. When the installation program installs the rpm-packages from the DVD, it stops after some hundred packages and gives a long python-related error message

clock goes back on intel dual core

Hallo, I use a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Xi 2550 (Intel Centrino Dual Core) and FC 9. When KDE goes to some power save mode, the clock goes back afterwards, e.g., the clock shows 11:18, but it is 11:48.Usually, the difference is exactly 20 minutes or exactly 30 minutes or something like that.

yum update on a Live USB Stick

Hi, I transfered the F10-i686-Live-KDE.iso to a 2GB USB-Stick (vfat) as described on http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f10/en_US/sn-making-media.html The stick booted well, but when I tried make yum update , yum crashed. I got tons of ext3-related error messages, altough the

Re: yum update on a Live USB Stick

I deteled everything on the USB-Stick, and then I transfered the live image by livecd-iso-to-disk --overlay-size-mb 1250 F10-i686-Live-KDE.iso /dev/sdc1 yum update was succesful on this stick. Thanks,Daniel -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe:

install F11 ON a USB-HDD

Hi, I installed F11 on a USB-HDD. I used a network-install-CD and allowed the installer to use the entire disk. I did not change the partition layout. I installed the bootloader to the same USB-drive. The installation seemed to be successful, but I cannot boot from this USB-HDD.WHen

Re: install F11 ON a USB-HDD, ... TERRIBLE

You can fix this by booting in the rescue mode from the install CD, (Can you do this with the netinstall CD?) letting it mount your partitions. Cchroot to the mounted system, edit /boot/grub/device.map, and re-install grub. I tried this. I replaced /dev/sdc by /dev/sda in devices.map on the

Re: install F11 ON a USB-HDD, ... TERRIBLE

Do the same thing again, and change back the map. It sounds like you were working with the system on the hard drive, and not the one on the USB drive. I should have been more specific about what install to use. Mikkel -- It did not work. The device.map on the buit-in drive is dated

Re: install F11 ON a USB-HDD, ... TERRIBLE

Try grub-install /dev/sda. (without quotes.) I got the same message. For the USB install, you need to use grub-install /dev/sdc instead of grub-install hd0 because you want to install grub to the USB drive, not the internal drive. Iknow, I tried grub-install hd0 to get the built-in HDD

Re: install F11 ON a USB-HDD, ... TERRIBLE

Dumb question - are you booting with the USB drive unplugged when you are working with the built-in drive? If not, boot without it plugged in so we can simplify the troubleshooting. I have not run into that error before. Mikkel I tried both, it yields the same result. I just see a
