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 occurs right after I select the partition to upgrade. (/dev/hda3)
--- 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.
--- end error message.
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.
Figured it out.
I had an entry in my /etc/fstab under RH8 for a USB device that wasn't connected. Commented out the entry and install went well.
There should be the ability to bypass this error message and continue with the installation/upgrade as selected instead of going to a reboot.
I write this from Fedora. -- Robin Laing
