Out of Disk Space !!

Wed Feb 16 17:52:12 UTC 2005

Thanks a lot for your reply,

Yes, the stage2.img is there, i try to install it on eServer x Series from IBM 
works without a hitch. Super fine.
But when it comes down to this hardware as i have earlier mentioned. I get this
problem. 
The Hardware is cPCI 6860 Board, you can check the exact specs down under.
It is 
Xeon 2 way , 2 Ghz
MPT SCSI controller, with 2 40 Gb, Seagate Cheetah Ultra 160 Drives attached.
all on single board. 
The System is from company called ADLINK.

Already stuck b/w rock and a hard place, no way to go, tested
everything, every idea, that came over here and there.
RH9 Install works fine, no error with that, .... any ideas what it could be.
The Kernel or anaconda comapatility with the Hardware.

I can provide more information, syslog and ancaonda log. 

Thanks..
