D.3.2 Other Partitioning Problems

If you are using Disk Druid to create partitions, but cannot move to the next screen, you probably have

not created all the partitions necessary for Disk Druid’s dependencies to be satisfied.

You must have the following partitions as a bare minimum:

•A/boot/efi partition of type vfat

•A/ (root) partition of type Linux native

• A <swap> partition of type Linux swap

Tip

When defining a partition’s type as Linux swap, you do not have to assign it

a mount point. Disk Druid automatically assigns the mount point for you.

D.3.3 Are You Seeing Python Errors?

During some upgrades or installations of Red Hat Linux, the installation program (also known as

Anaconda) may fail with a Python or traceback error. This error may occur after the selection of

individual packages or while trying to save the upgrade log in /tmp. The error may look similar to:

Traceback (innermost last):

File "/var/tmp/anaconda-7.1//usr/lib/anaconda/iw/progress_gui.py",

line 20, in run

rc = self.todo.doInstall ()
