"Cannot mount volume" - "Installation has failed!"

Post by Monti »

Hi,

I am trying to install GBSD on my old mans laptop, but is unsuccessful in doing so. I have received two error messages during the installation.

The computer is an AMD Thurion 64 X2 with a SSD disk.

The first message was "Cannot mount volume": Error org.freedesktop.Hal.DeviceUnknownError - An unknown error occured. (I have noticed that this has been reported as issue#0000035 over at issues.ghostbsd.org. No comments yet though)

The seccond message after 80% installation progress was: "Installation Error / Installation has failed! - Please report the error to the GhostBSD issue system, and be sure to provide tmp/.pc-sysinstall/pc-sysinstall.log" (I have looked through issue#0000031 and see that pc-sysinstall.log for that issue is similar to the information given in my pc-sysinstall.log. Though Eric comments that it looks like a user to interface issue. I can't get this to fit with my experience.)

pc-sysinstall.log says:

After "Cannot mount volume" I decided to just click OK on the three same messages I got and let the installation continue where it did seem to continue. The progress indicator finally stopped at about 80% before the "Installation has failed!" popped up. I have never worked with SSD disks before, so I do not know if this is an issue in this matter. Both / and /home are showing up in Caja.

Some feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks :)
