I'm trying to get MkLinux DR3 installed on my PowerBook 3400. It's a supported machine, and I can get as far into the install as the point where it formats the partitions. When that's done, just before it's supposed to start copying files, it throws a "mount failed: Invalid Argument" error with no further details.
My best guess is that this has something to do with my partitioning scheme, but I'm not sure what would be wrong with it. The 3400 has its original 2GB drive, and I've partitioned it as such:
I picked these partitions and sizes based on the MkLinux install guide. I made sure to keep the swap partition small (I went with 80MB to match how much RAM is in the system) since I've read MkLinux can't handle anything bigger than 127MB. I'm also picking the default install options (not trying to install all the packages off of the CD).
Any ideas?
