[SunRescue] Re: RedHat 6.2 install on a Sparc10/2xSM41

[Silvester if]

I maybe have a same kind of problem with two classics, booting from a cd. 
For both the install-script will run untill it tries to read 
package-information, then it crashes (with the same error as below I 
believe). I tested the hardware, and that seemed fine, so I think it must be 
the cd. But before these installallations, I already installed two suns (ss2 
& classic) and that went just fine??!
The error I am getting at tty2? is some kind of I/O error with two bytes bad 
( I can't remember what it was precisely) =>
it must be the cd?

Hello,

I seem to have encountered some unexpected trouble installing RH6.2 on my
sparc. I'm installing over a serial line, and everything goes fine :

boot from floppy, select install method, enter network config, ftp site for
packages, partition disk

After partitioning, I do a couple other routine things, setup the root and a
user account, and then the install script turns up an error trying to mount
sda1 - "Error mounting sda1: Invalid argument", and everything dies, install
shuts down. Anyone else have any problems like this, or ideas on what this
might be? I've ruled out the drive being bad, I've tested it in several
machines. Any help would be appreciated.
