G'day,
I'm trying to install the livecd (livecd-i686-installer-2006.0.iso) on
a PII-450 machine with 256MB ram and an 18GB Fujitsu hard drive. The
machine is on a 192.168.1.x LAN with 192.168.1.2 providing DNS and DSL
firewall services. The installation fails :=< Copies of
installprofile.xml, clientconfiguration.xml, and installer.log.failed
are below.
All my attempts at installing have failed so far. Suggestions as to
what's wrong (and help in getting around the problems) would be appreciated !
Thanks.
David

Hi,
Try a second time following the latest docs (haven't read them myself ;) and
don't hurry.
If the problem persist, try installing the old way - open a terminal (as root)
and follow the appropriate docs (2006.0 or 2005.1).
PS: also could try a minimal-arch-2006.0 CD with a stage3 tarball.

Well, it seems the installer was unable to mount /mnt/gentoo, that
will be your root mountpoint (the "/" in the device), you have told
the installer not to format the partitions, that could be one of the
reasons why it can't mount it, because simply there's no filesystem on
the device. Another option is that you have mounted the device
already.
Do you have anything else on the disk? Another partition or
filesystem? Something that you don't wanna loose? If not, I suggest
you tell the installer to format the partitions...

Daniel:
Right on! I restarted the install, taking care to scp the old
configuration to tmpfs (without mounting any partitions). The install
is now unpacking the stage tarball. This is considerably further along
than previous efforts.

David
