This error occurs in some systems where links to
/tmp
are symbolic to other locations or have been
changed since creation. These symbolic or changed links are invalid during the installation process,
so the installation program cannot write information and fails.
If you experience such an error, first try to download any available errata for
Anaconda . Errata can
be found at http://www.redhat.com/support/errata.
You can also search for bug reports related to this problem. To search the Red Hat bug tracking system,
go to http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla.
Finally, if you are still facing problems related to this error, register your product and contact our
support team. To register your product, go to http://www.redhat.com/apps/activate.
C.4. Problems After Installation
C.4.1. Trouble With the Graphical GRUB Screen?
If, for some reason, you need to disable the graphical boot screen, you can do so, as root, by editing
the
/boot/grub/grub.conf
file and then rebooting your system.
To do this, comment out the line which begins with
splashimage
in the
grub.conf
file. To comment
out a line, insert the
;
character at the beginning of the line.
Once you reboot, the
grub.conf
file will be reread and your changes will take place.
You may re-enable the graphical boot screen by uncommenting (or adding) the above line back into
the
grub.conf
file and rebooting.
C.4.2. Trouble With the Graphical LILO Screen?
If, for some reason, you need to disable the graphical boot screen, you can do so, as root, by editing
the
/etc/lilo.conf
file and then rerunning LILO.
First, as root, comment out (or delete) the line which reads
message=/boot/message
in the
/etc/lilo.conf
file. To comment out a line, insert the
;
character at the beginning of the line.
Next, rerun LILO by typing
/sbin/lilo -v
. The next time you boot, you will see the text
LILO:
prompt, as used in previous Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES releases.
