I duplicated this traceback when trying to do an ftp install onto vmware version 2.0.4 I am also able to duplicate this error when running a CD rom install using a FireGL4 graphics card. Graphical setup and text setup both fail. Just for the record - does 7.1 probe these cards correctly? Red Hat Linux 7.1 installs fine on the GeForce 3-based system, although it doesn't detect the GeForce 3 card. I am increasingly convinced the GeForce 3 card is the issue (not the hardware itself, but the inability of the installer to handle it) since the install gets past this stage on another PC with another (Voodoo 3) video card. I've done something to avoid the immediate traceback, but I need to test with a card which is not in our db. Going to address video issues post beta 2 This defect considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax gold-release. update using beta 2... I am still unable to install in either graphical mode or text mode. The card now seems to be somewhat recognized but I still get a traceback (albeit a different one) at the same point in the installation routine... Running anaconda - please wait... Probing for video card: Traceback (innermost last): File "/usr/bin/anaconda", line 363, in ? videohw = videocard.VideoCardInfo() File "/usr/lib/anaconda/videocard.py", line 285, in __init__ info = Video_cardslist [server[5:]] KeyError: NVIDIA GeForce 3 (generic) install exited abnormally sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done . . . Fixed for beta 3. |
