Using BootX and the CS 1.2.1 CD, I've tried several times with two separate
drives to create partitions to install yellowdog ( a 1.2G Quantum Fireball
Tm and 4.2G Seagate)
After trying to write the partition map, I keep getting the error message:
"Reread of partition table failed (device or resource busy) Reboot your
system to insure partition table is updated."
If I reboot and "print" the partition table it displays correctly, (no Mac
HFS partion, (separate drive) a 64m swap and a 1.1G root) but I'm un able
to proceed with the installion procsess after selecting "done" . Error
message:
"An error occurred reading the partion table for the block device /tmp/sdb
The error was device not configured"
If I then choose the "skip drive" option I get the following errors:
"Segmentation fault
Install exited abnormally."
My only option is then to reboot the system.
Thanks in advance for your help.
