Installation fails - Sabayon 5 [Solved]

[Wolfdale]

Installation of Sabayon 5 fails just before installing Grub. I tried 3 versions (amd64 K&G, x86 G) on 3 different computers, but I always get the same error.
Sorry for not posting the error code in text format, but I didn't know how to save it (the "Save" button did not let me save the report ), so I took a couple of pictures.
I hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

I downloaded the amd64 kde iso and get the same error, although I could save the code in text format, here it is: http://pastebin.com/m3787f140

I hope someone can figure it out soon.

Thanks

I tried two installation, Sabayon 5 x86K and amd64K.
Only x86K display error above, then i tried graphic install. Everything work normally then.
May be you can give it a try.

Did you make a swap partition?? from what i can see the code shows theres no swap partition
set - this is my guess btw

Code: Select all

my_swap_enc, my_swargs = self.setupSwapParameters(fsset)
ValueError: need more than 0 values to unpack

No, I didn't.
I've used Sabayon since 3.5 without swap. Later I'll make a new swap partition and I'll let you know if the problem is solved.
Thanks.

P.S.

1)
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core E5200
RAM: 2 GB
MoBo: AsRock G31M-GS (G31+ICH7)

video card: Intel x3100

3)

I added a swap partition, but I still get the same error.
Both graphic and text install fail.
Integrity of LiveDVDs is ok.

This error has been fixed, just click on the "Update Installer" button inside the Installer.

Many thanks! Now installer works fine.

Hi,

Get the same issue with the amd64G, even when performing an udate of the installer...
Tried cleaning all Linux partition before install and result is the same.
Will try amd64K tonight.
