    [SOLVED] Fedora 14: unable to mount filesystem

    Hi,

    I'm trying to do a fresh Fedora 14 install from usb live stick. On installation got to partition program and since I want my old /home partition I pointed the partitions as they're supposed to be and apart from /home marked all partitions to be formatted to ext4. After the format or in the end of it came up a prompt I couldn't past. The following link shows a pic of that prompt:

    h t t p : / / db.tt/44wUqhN
    (Sorry for the spaces, but I can't post URLs before 15 posts)

    What should I do to complete the install?

    I have partitions:
    /
    /home
    /boot
    /swap

    Solution:
    Burned the image on CD and installed from that.

    Hi and Welcome !

    Could you post the output of fdisk -l command here?
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    I would recommend that you let FC14 partition the disc for you instead. Since you are formatting the partitions with ext4, it won't make any difference about data that may have once been there.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

    Hi,

    And thank you for welcoming me and especially your replies!

    Unfortunately I already solved the problem by burning the image on cd and installing from that... I know it maybe not a real solution, but I got it done anyway.
