I am trying to move upto Fedora Core from RH 8 and during the upgrade I
keep getting an error message and being told to reboot. This message

--- error message
Error mounting device sda1 as /mnt/pix.
No such file or directory
This most likely means this partition has not been formatted.
Press OK to reboot your system.

I don't have a scsi drive or controller (sda1) so I would assume that
the install is trying to use the CD rom or the partition that my RH 8 is
installed on and is having problems with linking.
This error occurs in either graphical or text install attempts at the
same location.
I guess I will hold off on Fedora until I hear an answer.
CD have been tested using the install test routine and all have been
confirmed.
The SCSI driver is also used to handle USB and Firewire storage units
(FLASH, CompactMedia, MemoryStick, etc).
If you have ANY block-addressable, random-access mass storage OTHER than
real disks on SCSI or IDE controllers, disconnect them and retry the
install.
"sda...It ain't just for SCSI anymore!" ;-)
