Problems installing on PB G3 - "Mount Failed - Invalid Argument"

Problems installing on PB G3 - "Mount Failed - Invalid Argument"

Post by Nigel Smit » Sun, 09 May 1999 04:00:00



Hi there

I hope that someone can help me here as I am getting very frustrated....

I have a PB G3/300/192 ram/8G HD.

I recently received a CD copy of Release 4 and followed the instructions on
installing.  The partitioning was easy but when I start to install the
components I keep getting the error message:

"Mount Failed - Invalid Arguement"

If anyone can help me with this problem I would be most grateful (and I'll
save some hair in the process!!)

Many thanks
Nigel

trying to install on, etc...

1. "mount failed: invalid argument" during install

I'm a relatively new user trying to install Yellow Dog Linux on my 7200,
and everything seems to go smoothly until I select the packages to
install.  It tells me where the install log will go, and then makes the
"ext2 filesystem" or some such.  But then, where I believe it should
start the actual installing of the packages, it instead gives me the
following message: "mount failed: invalid argument."  And it goes back
to the package selection.

Has anybody else seen this before?  Is there a way around it?

Thanks,
bye.
