Installation Failed!

McLaren2 · 01-18-2005, 09:04 AM

I am trying to download the FC3, after select the keyboard options, the Bug Error came out. Click Ignore, then the system reboot it self.

1) Assertion (heads>0) at disk_dos. :485 in function probe_partition_for_geom() failed.

2) Assertion (sectors <= 63) at disk_dos:490 in function probe_partition_for_geom () failed.

Any solutions?

See "additonal comment 2" - ignore the naysayer at comment 5, who obviously had an actual hardware issue.

synopsis:

Can you try the update image at
http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/fc3-part-upd.img and see if that helps?

(Instructions for using an update disk are available at
http://rhlinux.redhat.com/anaconda/updatedisks.html)

It wasn't that difficult - and I got the install done flawlessly.
