We are trying to upgrade an old hunk'o'junk dual athlon box from FC5 to
FC7 using a DVD. Unfortunately the installer claims that it can not mount
/dev/hda15 as /tmp and aborts. /tmp mounts nomally on FC5 ( not nosuec
or noexec) and I can't find any unusual attributes. It fscks cleanly as do
all the other partitions.
There are a spectacular dearth of diagnostics here. The FC5 works
flawlessly. Has anyone else seen this problem? Am I overlooking the
obvious somewhere? A clean install is just not practical on this box.
1. I think you should use labels for all your partitions.
This is annoying, but you get into difficulty in Fedora-7
(Nb it is no longer called Fedora Core)
if you don't use labels.
2. Some time ago (with RedHat 8 or 9)
I had problems trying to use /dev/sda15 .
At that time the install program would only accept 14 SCSI partitions.
(Once installed, you could re-create /dev/sda15 .)
But I doubt if that is any longer true.
