(A a story of a confluence of version numbers) After running db2 for linux 6.1 for awhile on RedHat 6.1 happily, I decided to upgrade to DB2 7.1 I figured while I'm at it, I might as well do a fresh install of Mandrake 7.1 to finally get this buggey i810 graphics board on the machine to work while I'm at it. Installation of 7.1 was bumpy to say the least, after it freezing several times, black screening, ect I finally got the bugger to install (i810 video wasn't all I hoped it would be.) Oh well, it's a server so I won't be too picky on the graphics board not working right. I downloaded the trail personal edition from IBM's web site (http://www.ibm.com/db2). db2 6.1 on rh 6.1 install went easy (After2 fixpacks and following a faq on problems installing on redhat). This time I'm getting an interesting error attempting to install db27.1 on M7.1 when running db2setup as root: Internal Error: DBI1502E An error was encountered when opening or reading from file /tmp/.db2inst.swap. Any Ideas? -David Talbot
