From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.5; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: While checking for badblocks on Primary Master drive, particularly /usr partition, the installer crashes. If I do not select for scanning for bad blocks, the installer proceds to install as expected. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): standard components with RH7.3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with net-install floppy. 2. Create /boot / swap /usr partitions on hda, check for bad sectors on /usr 3. Select custom install with no extra components Actual Results: The installer crashes with exception. Expected Results: Check for bad sectors completed, then install to go ahead. Additional info: Well I saved the dump on a floppy, if anyone wants it I have uploaded it to http://max62.hypermart.net/anacdump.txt
