I am installing from the YDL 3.0 Geek Edition cds onto an early ibook
(M2453) running YDL 2.3 as its only operating system.
Immediately after "choose partition options" the installer aborts with :
Traceback :
/usr/lib/anaconda/gui.py at 634 self.dispatch.gotoNext()
/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py at 150 self.moveStep()
/usr/lib/anaconda/dispatch.py at 215 rc = apply(func, self.bindArgs(args))
/usr/lib/anaconda/partitioning.py at 57 partitions.setfromDisk(diskset)
/usr/lib/anaconda/partitions.py at 114 ptype =
fsset.fileSystemTypeGet(partedUtils.map_foreign_to_fsname(part.mac_native_type))
/usr/lib/anaconda/fsset.py at 61 return filesystemTypes[key]
keyError : Foreign
(Its not the exact text, as I hand copied it)
I suspect that I am missing a partition type that the installer expect
to find.
(The phrase "Geek Edition - no support" is resonating in my head right
now ....)
Here is my partition table (pdisk -l):
Partition map (with 512 byte blocks) on '/dev/hda'
#: type name length base ( size )
1: Apple_partition_map Apple 63 @ 1
2: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 64 @ 64
3: Apple_Driver_ATA*Macintosh 64 @ 128
4: Apple_Patches Patch Partition 512 @ 192
5: Apple_Boot MOSX_OF3_Booter 16384 @ 704 ( 8.0M)
6: Apple_Loader SecondaryLoader 1024 @ 17088
7: Apple_Bootstrap untitled 20481 @ 18112 ( 10.0M)
8: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 swap 589825 @ 38593 (288.0M)
9: Apple_UNIX_SVR2 untitled 5726014 @ 628418 ( 2.7G)
Device block size=512, Number of Blocks=6354432 (3.0G)
DeviceType=0x0, DeviceId=0x0
Drivers-
1: 21 @ 64, type=0x701
2: 34 @ 128, type=0xf8ff
Finally I have noticed that at the start of the YDL 2.3 boot process I
get this warning about partition types :
Apple_boot type should be Apple_bootstrap
(But 2.3 boots fine...)
Any help here would be great !
Cheers
