Re: FC6 Install No go :(

not entirely related but I was given a surprised gift in form of a Dell Optiplex GX520.

I'm a bit shy at this point because of all the problem but I hooked up the cables anyways.

I was too excited to see how much RAM it has...doesn't matter.  Later on I gave it 2.5G swap.

It detected and install driver for SATA!  I felt a bit warmer deep inside.

Then the installation started and it took longer than before.  Before it would skip quickly through all the packages and proceed to hang at installing bootloader.

Then it's done and passed the installation of the boot loader.  I'm booted up and logged in just fine.  I saw some error concerning SATA but it's happy nevertheless.

Such is the state of Linux!

if there's a moral to the story, FC6 will be happy on an Optiplex gx520 model DCCY. anyone with this hardware should feel good about it.

I will try other variation of install and report

i'm having a brilliant idea.  Instead of ext3 with journaling and all that fancy stuff.  I'll back down to ext2 and see how it goes.  i'll report shortly

it wasn't happy with that either.  saying something about temp rpmdb already exists.

but even that what will i do next?  I can restart anaconda/install then upgrade.  but then it immediately say "good completed" do you want to reboot now?

Did you try rpm --rebuilddb? Back up your /var/lib/rpm directory first, just in
case this makes it worse.
