G'day all, I'm installing fedora on a windows XP computer: it has a 40Gb partition: 13Gb NTFS windows system partition, 102 boot Linux partition, 11.9 Gb Linux root partition, 957 Mb Linux swap partition, and 2 Fat32 shared data partitions. I've been consistently getting 2 errors: 1. When partitioning, I get a "boot partition /boot may not meet booting constraints of your system for you architecture". 2. when installing packages (at random stages): "There was an error installing [package]. This can indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems. This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted. Please verify your media and try your install again. Press the OK button to reboot your system." The media has checked out fine. To try and resolve this problem, I've tried: 1. Installing off CD with "linux allowcddma" - same problem 2. Installing off CD with "linux ide=nodma" - same problem 3. Installing off newly burned CDs - same problem 4. Installing via local FTP from previously downloaded ISOs - same problem 5. Installing via local FTP from rpms extracted from previously downloded ISOs - same problem 6. Installing via local from newly re-downloaded rpms - same problem I'm fresh out of ideas - does anyone have any suggestions? :-/ Edwin Humphries, Ironstone Technology Pty Ltd edwin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx www.ironstone.com.au Phone: 02 4233 2285 Fax: 02 4233 2299 Mobile: 0419 233 051
