I have been happily running Fedora Core 2 for a year.
I just tried to install Fedora Core 4T3, but it fails with:
-------------------------------------
There was an error installing cracklib-dicts-2.8.2-1. This can
indicate media failure, lack of disk space, and/or hardware problems.
This is a fatal error and your install will be aborted.
-------------------------------------
If I switch over to F3, I see:
-------------------------------------
Setting file_context_path to /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/file_contexts
-------------------------------------
F4 shows:
-------------------------------------
<6>SELinux: initialized (dev hda3, type xfs), uses xattr
<4>post_create: setxatter failed, rc=1 (dev=hda7 ino=16449)
-------------------------------------
My partion layout is:
hda1: /boot (ext3)
hda2: swap
hda3: /home (xfs)
hda4: extended
hda5: / (Fedora core 2) (ext3)
hda6: / (alternate root) (jfs)
hda7: / (Fedora core 4T3) (jfs)
I booted off the DVD with "linux jfs", so it would allow me to format
the root partion with jfs.
I told it not to install SELinux.
I did test the media, and it is fine. Pretty sure my hardware is
okay, since Fedora Core 2 is quite happy running on it.
Any other information I can provide to help track this problem down?
Thanks,
John
