when installing FC5 Error unmounting CD

michaelh · #1 30th March 2006, 04:56 PM

Hello!
While installing FC5, i encounter the "error unmounting CD. Make sure you are not accessing /mnt/source from TTY" problem. I have installed in text mode, graphical mode, tried to
rearrange the packages, and nothing helps. Any ideas?

You can switch the virtual termial to the shell, I think it's Ctrl + Alt + F3, and run

Code:

lsof | grep /mnt/source

Or you can do a network install by booting the installer

Code:

linux askmethod

Found a new workaround that might work if doing a custom install.

Instead of selecting the general package description witht the spacebar, try using F2 instead.

I was finding when I selected the general package with the space bar, and then going in with F2 to check to see if everthing I wanted was going to be installed within the general package selection that maybe only one thing in the list was selected!

It got me past the mnt error, but hung on a new problem after that.

See how far you get... bet it's not far though.
