I'm repeatedly running into a problem with kickstart on some DELL
Poweredge 1550. I'm running running
kickstart from a floppy with ks.cfg on that floppy and packages
available via http.
The machine has a 73Gb drive and the trouble occurs while trying to
create the journal while formatting
a partition on that drive. In the diag console I get messages such as -
attempt to access beyond end of device.
01:01 rw=1 ....
repeated many times then
after creating and enabling the swap space
attempt to access beyond end of device.
01:01 rw=0 ....
repeated many times then
followed by
Error -3 while decompressing
Then the installer comes up with 'An error occured trying to format
sda2 this problem is serious and the install cannot continue. Press
Enter to reboot.'
Where can I find out what error -3 is ? is the system not creating the
partitions correctly ?
Please forgive me if this is something obvious or has been mentioned
before (I couldn't find it)
Many Thanks
Neil Prockter
