After selecting the software I'd like installed (during installation from the first disc), I'm getting the error message: An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to retry. Clicking OK simply re-presents the dialog box. And once the dialog box appears, it's all over for the installation; I have no options but to shut down. A few things: - All discs PASSED the testing prior to Anaconda loading. To be sure, I reburned the first disc using an image obtained from a different mirror. Same error. - Specifying "linux noshell" at the boot prompt did NOT help (NOTE: I haven't used the noshell command before, and I typed it exactly as shown between the quotes. Is that correct?) - I suspected that this error had something to do with the way I'd partitione

Search this Thread 03-24-2006, 09:46 PM #1 LloydM LQ Newbie Registered: May 2005 Posts: 29 Rep: "error unmounting CD" during FC5 install -PROBLEM FIXED, see update below- I am trying to install FC5 on an Athlon PC that has an XP NTFS partition, FAT16 partition, and 10GB free space. I am using a DVD to install, which media-tested OK. Right after the selection of S/W components (Office, Development, Server) I get a message saying: "An error occurred unmounting the CD. Please make sure you're not accessing /mnt/source from the shell on tty2 and then click OK to retry." When I click OK the message continues popping up. I have to power-down the system to cancel the installation. Can anyone help me solve this? UPDATE: I tried installing FC5 from the CD's (instead of the DVD) and got the same error. FINAL UPDATE: Problem fixed! I had been using my primary DVD-RW DL drive for both the DVD and CD FC5 installs. I also have a secondary (ancient) CD-ROM drive. I tried it instead, and the CD's installed fine. Maybe the default read speed of the DVD drive is too fast? -LloydM Last edited by LloydM; 03-31-2006 at 06:02 AM.

I've never used it before. Yes it is trying to switch from CD1 to CD (well it says ISO1 to ISO) I did try following your page : http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/CustomizingFedoraCore But couldn't get pkgorder to run without complaining about not importing whiteout..
