Kickstart install fails when formatting LogVol00 - Fedor 8 install

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I have a Dell PE2300 that I am attempting to install Fedora 8 on. I am doing an automatic install using a kickstart file (that is automatically generated for me by another application to customise the configuration).

The install fails when it attempts to format the root partition with the following error:

   An error occurred trying to format volgroup00/logvol00
   this problem is serious and the install cannot continue

Switching to the console (alt-f6) shows no more information about the error.

I have tried a manual install (with the default Fedora partition scheme) and that worked fine. So I am at a loss as to why this is tripping up. I ran the same install on another PE2300 yesterday with the same disk configuration which went off without a hitch.

Can anyone suggest how to proceed to debug this issue? Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Langdon
