Zone: Linux Setup
Tags: anaconda
I'm trying to re-install Linux (custom setup option) on a partition. Everything goes wonderful until the

'Formatting / filesystem'

prompt appears. Then a window appears saying 'Anaconda caused a segmentation fault'

The crash-report says:

Traceback (innermost last):

  File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 438, in ?

    intf.run(todo, test = test)

File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 1030, in run
    rc = apply (step[1](), step[2])
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/text.py", line 507, in __call__
    if todo.doInstall ():
  File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.0.1//usr/lib/anaconda/todo.py", line 1480, in doInstall
    if self.method.systemMounted (self.fstab, self.instPath, self.hdList.selected()):

    return _isys.devSpaceFree(fsystem)

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution

  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing

Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is.
